Abstract:
Sleep-disordered breathing is a growing public health concern and an integral part of head and neck surgery. Multichannel home sleep testing is a cost-effective, patient-friendly, scientifically valid technique of evaluating patients who present with symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing, typically snoring or daytime sleepiness. Home sleep tests can be dispensed from the physician's office. They have a 95% successful recording rate. Scoring can be autoscore or manual score. There are several protocols that can be followed based on diagnostic outcomes.
