Sleep Disordered-breathing Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of 2 Different Hook-up Protocols to Perform Home-based Polysomnography
Comparison of 2 hook-up protocols to perform home-based sleep studies in patients suspected
of sleep-disordered breathing.
First one: hook-up is performed in the hospital, around 4 PM, and the patient go home with
the portable monitoring.
Second one: hook-up is performed home, around 7 PM, and the patient has not to move after
hook-up.
All the patients will undergo 2 polysomnographies, according to two different hook-up
protocols, within 2 weeks. Order of the exams will be randomized.
We hypothesised that quality of recording is better when hook-up is performed at home.
Final polysomnographic diagnosis, with the 2 different techniques, must be similar.
