report for an adult polysomnogram is - ANSWER ✓ Occurrence of hypoventilation
during the diagnostic study in adult
21. The respiratory event that requires oxygen desaturation and/ or an arousal as part of
the scoring criteria is - ANSWER ✓ Obstructive hypopnea
22. An ECG arrhythmia commonly seen when recording PSG's, particularly in patients
that have obstructive sleep apnea and cardiac disease. It can be identified by the
morphology of an irregularly irregular ventricular rhythm associated with replacement
of consistent P waves by rapid oscillations that vary in size, shape, and timing -
