NEW RPSGT EXAM STUDY GUIDE AND PRACTICE
TEST| 2025-2026|900+Qs&As|A+GRADE
The purpose of an intentional mask leak is to...
Wash out CO2 and prevent rebreathing
Recommended guidelines state that HSV can be considered when....
Cheyne Stokes and central Apneas have not been eliminated.
What is aerophagia?
The swallowing of air
What is maxillomandibular advancement?
Treatment that involves cutting and advancing the upper and lower
jaw bones; enlarging and stabilizing the posterior airway.
What is the PRIMARY function of the EPAP setting?
To eliminate desaturations and arousals.
According to guidelines, how many Hypopneas need to occur in peds pts prior to
increasing pressure?
1
,What are the AASM guidelines for supplemental O2 during PAP studies?
1lmp during PAP titration when SPO2 is less than or equal to 88%
for 5 or more minutes and in the absence of obstructive events.
If a pts Apneas are fixed at 10cm, but Hypopneas and snoring still occur at 16cm,
what levels of BiLevel should be used?
IPAP: 14
EPAP: 10
Which of the following can reduce the effectiveness of CPAP and why: Nasal
spray, Alcohol, Anti depressants.
Alcohol: impairs arousal response which can lead to longer than
normal events and severe desats. Inhibits upper airway activity
What syndrome would a pt with COPD and OSA have?
Overlap syndrome
What are hypoxemia and hypercapnia?
Hypoxemia: very low 02 in the blood
,Hypercapnia: very high CO2 in the blood.
What would a patient with both hypoxemia and hypercapnia most likely be
diagnosed with?
Hypoventilation
What is an MWT's MOST important use?
Measure patients ability to resist the urge to fall asleep
Tricyclic antidepressants, large amounts of caffeine and large amounts of
chocolate have been known to trigger what?
REM sleep behavior disorder
Recommended impedance for eeg and eog
5k ohms
The amount of space needed to archive digitized data is MOST impacted by?
Sampling rate
, Cortical activity is best described as
Spontaneous arousal
Calculate the AHI based on the following data
25 obstructive apneas
5 central apneas
23 mixed apneas
15 hypopneas
48 RERAS
65 arousals
360 min of sleep
11
According to RECOMMENDED guidelines, the minimum duration of a
significant leg movement is
.5
According to RECOMMENDED guidelines, an optional parameter to include in
the report for an adult polysomnogram is
