How to interpret polysomnography
Archives of disease in childhood - Education & practice edition, 2019A 5-year-old child presents to a paediatric clinic with their parents because of concerns about snoring, which is loud, every night and associated with respiratory pauses. This has been present for 6 months. Can clinical evaluation diagnose sleep-disordered breathing in children or are further investigations required?

Polysomnography in locked-in syndrome
Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, 1991Sleep patterns were evaluated in a case of 'locked-in' syndrome. This patient had an ischemic infarction involving the ventral portion of the upper half of the pons bilaterally, with a posteromedial extension into the tegmentum. Reticular structures, notably the median raphe nuclei, supposed to play a major regulatory role in sleep, were most probably ...

This chapter covers the technical and clinical aspects of polysomnography (PSG). Section 1 includes a brief review of the historical milestones, functional neuroanatomy of sleep, physiological changes (emphasizing those pertinent to overnight PSG interpretation) and clinical relevance as well as homeostatic and circadian factors, and functions of sleep.

Sleep disorders, particularly breathing-related sleep disorders, are significant health problems that require polysomnography (PSG) for accurate diagnosis and treatment. PSG comprises overnight neuro-cardio-pulmonary monitoring. The monitoring of sleep and the interpretation of sleep study findings are complex and require a distinct skill set including

With advances in neurophysiology, the recording of electrical activity of brain became possible. Analysis of the brainwave activity during sleep helped in understanding the various different components of sleep and sleep disorders. Polysomnography nowadays gives us a great deal of information about sleep, respiratory, and limb movement characteristics.

Polysomnography: a systematic review*
Technology and Health Care, 1997Polysomnography refers to the continuous monitoring of multiple neurophysiological and cardiorespiratory variables, usually over the course of a night, to study normal and disturbed sleep. Electroencephalographic, electrooculographic and electromyographic channels provide the basis for staging the recording into successive epochs of wakefulness and ...

Serial polysomnography in hypnic headache
Cephalalgia, 2010Background: Hypnic headache (HH) is a rare primary headache disorder characterized by strictly sleep-related headache attacks. Most patients are over the age of 50 and usually awake at the same time at night with dull bilateral head pain. The pathophysiology of this headache disorder is still enigmatic but association with rapid eye movement (REM ...

Polysomnography in Children Scheduled for Adenotonsillectomy
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 2004OBJECTIVESeveral studies suggest that a reliable diagnosis of childhood sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB) requires polysomnography (PSG). We compared clinical and PSG‐based diagnoses in children scheduled for adenotonsillectomy (AT). Parent responses on a validated Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire were used to determine which symptoms could help identify ...

Polysomnography and Sleep Disorders
2007The classification of sleep disorders is based both on clinical and neurophysiological criteria and is undergoing constant refinement. Sleep disorders can be caused by either a primary disorder of a mechanism controlling sleep or inadequate function of an end organ, such as the upper airways and lungs. Understanding the physiology and pattern of normal
