Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the related factors of portable monitoring and polysomnography in simultaneous monitoring of suspected OSAHS cases. To evaluate the application of portable monitoring in the diagnosis of OSAHS.Method:All patients underwent a simultaneous monitoring of both portable monitoring and polysomnography. Both the parameters of apnea hypopnea index (AHI), lowest oxygen saturation (LSaO₂), mean oxygen saturation (MSaO₂), percentage of time with an oxygen saturation below 90%(CT90%), oxygen desaturation index (ODI), the number of apnea and hypopnea were collected and analyzed.Result:Both the portable monitoring and polysomnography showed 39 cases met the diagnostic criteria for OSAHS. Polysomnography showed 26 severe cases, 8 moderate cases and 5 mild case. Portable monitoring showed 30 severe cases, 5 moderate cases and 4 mild cases. Comparing portable monitoring with polysomnography, the parameter of AHI had a significant difference. MSaO₂, LSaO₂, CT90%, ODI, the number of apnea and hypopnea had no significant difference.Conclusion:Compared portable monitoring's indicators with polysomnography's indicators, both correlated well. Portable monitoring has a high diagnostic value. But the diagnostic accuracy in the severity of the disease should be improved.
