Purpose:
To evaluate sleep duration and respiratory events in comparison with CPAP use time and residual events.
Methods:
We evaluated 75 OSA patients using a non-intrusive under-mattress sensor (WITHINGS Sleep Analyzer, WSA) alongside CPAP Resmed Airsense device over 480 nights, with a subset of 14 patients undergoing simultaneous home polysomnography (PSG). We compared total sleep time (TST) with CPAP use time and residual apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) across devices.
Results:
The WSA recorded longer TST than CPAP use time (437.4 vs. 395.6 min, p < 0.005) and higher AHI than CPAP residual AHI (11.3 vs. 2.0 events/h, p < 0.001). In the PSG subset, WSA AHI closely approximated PSG AHI and exceeded CPAP residual AHI.
Conclusions:
The WSA provides a more comprehensive home monitoring of sleep and respiratory events during CPAP therapy, potentially improving treatment assessment and patient engagement, especially in early treatment phases.

Assessment of Ventilation I: Respiratory Rate
A Ventilation assessment is critical for monitoring a patient's health status. Respiration, one of the most accessible vital signs, provides insights into the function of numerous body systems and can indicate serious health issues, such as brainstem injuries from head trauma.
Critical Guidelines for Assessing Ventilation:
Special considerations while measuring oxygen saturation
Ensuring accuracy in vital sign recordings while prioritizing patient comfort and minimizing anxiety is important.
