Monitorização portátil no diagnóstico da apneia obstrutiva do sono: situação atual, vantagens e limitações

Abstract: Recent years have seen a growing interest in the use of portable monitoring devices for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. These have the potential to be used in lieu of the more complicated and uncomfortable alternative, polysomnography, which has long been considered to be the gold standard for the diagnosis of this relatively prevalent condition. Following their approval in 2008 by the Center of Medicare and Medicaid Services, the federal agency which administers Medicare and Medicaid in the… Show more

“…Portable PSG is effective and may be used as an alternative to in-laboratory PSG, especially in patients with a high clinical probability of OSA. 36 37 38 Fourth, we did not exclude subjects with white-coat hypertension. Lastly, as we utilized hospital-based registry data, the results from the study cannot be generalized to the general population.…”

“…In this scenario, portable sleep monitors, also called polygraphy (PG) have gained growing interest to be used as an attractive alternative to surpass the main above limitations. PGs have been extensively validated against polysomnography in patients with high clinical probability of OSA [12][13][14][15] . However, whether PGs can be used for diagnosing OSA in non-referred populations is unclear.…”
