WITH COMPLEETE SOLUTIONS
The indirect monitoring of patient's oxygen level by the use of a sensor that detects light wave
absorption. Correct Answer: Pulse Oximetry
Typically placed on index finger
Xanax is a what?
How does it effect on a PSG? Correct Answer: Benzodiazepine: sedative or muscle relaxant
Reduction in WASO, REM, and N3 and Increase in TST, n1, n2, and REM latency
An array of electrode derivations for acquiring, recording, and displaying data. Correct Answer:
Montage
What is an Acquisition montage?
What is a Display montage? Correct Answer: A- location and storage rate ( sampling rate )
D- signal display, channel sensitivity, and filters
Graphic display and recording of the flow curve obtained by EtC02 monitoring. Correct Answer:
Capnography
Capnography is not only required for pediatrics, but also good in diagnosing what? Correct
Answer: hypoventilation in patients with COPD
AASM quidelines for portable monitoring Correct Answer: - patients response to oral appliance
therapy
- high probability of moderate to severe OSA ( without comorbid conditions )
- cases where PSG is not possible bc of immobility or safety
- monitoring treatment of non-CPAP
With children, what two disorders can be confused? Correct Answer: ADHD and Sleep apnea
Hyperactivity are symptoms of adhd and sleep apnea in children
Noninvasive procedure that uses piezoelectric accelerometer to measure activity levels. Best for
diagnosing insomnia. Correct Answer: Actigraphy
Asked to wear device typically 7-10 days
_________ is characterized by hypertension, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and
hyperlipidemia.
Goes hand in hand with obesity. Correct Answer: Metabolic Syndrome
Treatment of OSA can reverse abnormalities associated with metabolic syndrome.
Chin EMG placements Correct Answer: first is placed at midline of chin, 1cm above the inferior
edge of mandible
other two are placed on the SUBMENTALIS, 2 cm to the right and left.
, AASM titration guidelines indicate that CPAP should be increased by _____ cm when there is
atleast ____ hypopnea in patients <12 years old.
Also can be increased for _____ obstrucitve apnea and _____ reras. Correct Answer: 1 cm
1 hypopnea
1 obstructive apnea
3 reras
occurs over time and is the result of consistently not getting enough sleep. Correct Answer:
Sleep Debt
AASM titration quidelines indicate that CPAP (IPAP if on bilevel) can be _______________ to
reduce the requiring of supplemental oxygen. Correct Answer: Increased
When G1 inputs are from an area that overlies an electrically "active site" and all G2 inputs are
from an "inactive site"
When both G1 and G2 inputs are from electrically active areas. Correct Answer: Referential
Montage
Differential Montage
What kind of calibration is to confirm amplifier function and appropriate channel response to
amplifier controls. Correct Answer: Montage Calibration
Performed AFTER the machine cals and signal calibrations
Any equipment that is to be reused on other patients should be sterilized by?? Correct Answer:
Pasteurization
high-level disinfection process that uses water heated above 166 degrees F.
According to AASM guidelines a minimum of ___ hours recorded are required. Correct Answer:
6
AASM guidelines say you should end a MWT if Correct Answer: 3 consecutive epochs of N1,
one epoch of any other stage of sleep, or no sleep after 40 minutes
What is it important that eye signals for both eyes deflect in opposite directions? Correct
Answer: It mimics conjunctive eye movements needed to be seen in REM.
Sensitivity controls the amplitude displayed on a recording. It is appropriate to start with 7
uv/mm for sensitivity. When you have children, what do you have to do sometimes? Correct
Answer: decrease the sensitivity to 10 or 15. Peds waves are typically higher in amplitude than
adults.
