Polysomnography Methods and Interpretations
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1990As the field of sleep disorders medicine continues to mature, appropriate diagnostic techniques are becoming properly defined and standardized. This article focuses principally upon diagnostic testing for sleep apnea, although other sleep disorders are discussed briefly. When interpreting a polysomnogram, one must consider a number of complex variables.

Technical Review of Polysomnography
Chest, 2008Polysomnography has developed from our understanding of sleep and its associated physiologic processes. This important tool extends the clinical examination into dynamic states that typically do not permit intrusive inspection. The two critical components of polysomnography are the determination of sleep-wake stage and identification of related bodily ...

Chest, 2007
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder associated with serious health consequences, increased health-care utilization, and economic burden. With greater public and medical attention to sleep disorders, the volume of referrals for sleep studies over the last decade has increased by approximately 12-fold.

Sleep Medicine Clinics, 2016
Polysomnography provided a means to objectively study sleep. Initial challenges were technical; the next challenge was overcoming communication difficulties and lack of standardization. The new specialty, sleep medicine, created a huge demand for laboratory polysomnography.

Digital Tools in Polysomnography
Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2002Recent advances in the computing power and storage devices have made computer-based recording of polysomnograms (PSGs) very attractive. Digital PSGs offer the possibility of automating many tedious and time-consuming tasks of identifying sleep related events.

Polysomnography of Torsion Dystonia
Archives of Neurology, 1984Nocturnal EEG, electro-oculograms, and electromyograms were studied in nine patients with dystonia musculorum deformans and in nine healthy controls. Electrodes were placed over frontal, central, and occipital regions in accordance with the international 10-20 system of electrode placement.

Polysomnography in Children [PDF]
, 2009 Polysomnography is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in children. Pediatric polysomnography should be performed in a sleep laboratory equipped for children and staffed by qualified personnel following the American Thoracic Society (ATS) standards for testing.

The History of Polysomnography
Sleep Medicine Clinics, 2009Similar to the first anatomists or the first radiographers, sleep scientists and physicians used electroencephalography and later polysomnography as means of "peering in" to the workings of the human body with the hope of gaining understanding. The rapid advancement of sleep research, made possible by the development of polysomnography, permitted not ...

Clinical value of polysomnography
The Lancet, 1992Polysomnography is used increasingly to investigate patients with possible sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome (SAHS), but it has not been assessed critically. We thus examined prospectively the value of electrophysiological and respiratory monitoring in 200 consecutive adults (163 men, 37 women; mean [SD] age 50 [13] years) having polysomnography.

Polysomnography in Drug Development
The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 1997Polysomnography in drug development is used to detect desirable and undesirable effects of drugs on normal and disturbed sleep. Although this method is essential for the approval of new hypnotic drugs, it is quite often neglected in the development of drugs that show unwanted side effects on normal sleep.
