How can I know if I or someone around me exists?
Obstructive sleep apnea?
The method of diagnosis is here.
Sleep apnea monitoring.
Sleep apnea monitoring can assess the frequency of respiratory events and the degree of drop in blood oxygen during sleep throughout the night. So, do I need to sleep in the hospital for a night to do this monitoring?
Portable sleep apnea monitoring, no need required! Ji Yingying, attending physician of the Department of Respiratory Medicine of Guangdong Clifford Hospital, introduced that compared with traditional polysomnography monitoring, portable sleep apnea monitoring only needs to bring the portable sleep apnea monitoring instrument home and wear it while sleeping, and the relevant information and data can be collected, which is more convenient and comfortable for patients, and has been widely used in clinical practice in recent years. It is a good choice for friends who are in an unfamiliar environment in the hospital or who have difficulty falling asleep due to too many body connections.
Many people will use mobile apps or sports bracelets to understand their sleep status, but the accuracy of such data analysis results still needs to be improved, and they cannot be directly used as a basis for clinical diagnosis of sleep-related disorders. But it has a positive significance for reminding everyone to pay attention to their own sleep.
