  • Title: Monitoring respiration during sleep.
    Author: Lee-Chiong TL, Magalang U.
    Journal: Respir Care Clin N Am; 2005 Dec; 11(4):663-78. PubMed ID: 16303595.
    Abstract:
    Monitoring of respiration during sleep allows the assessment of physiologic variables that are required to characterize SRBD events. The patency of the upper airway, the pattern of breathing, oxygenation, and ventilation usually can be inferred from simultaneous measurements of airflow, respiratory effort, thoracic volume, and blood gases. As new techniques of respiratory monitoring emerge, the respiratory therapist and sleep technologist must be familiar with the advantages and shortcomings of each modality.
