Term 1 of 169
A sleep tech notes a. fib in a pt during bio cals. Which of the following is most important to check
in this pt:
a. resp rate
b. pulse
c. SpO2
d. mental status
40
2
3
b.
(If the question asked which should the sleep tech check FIRST, it would be responsiveness
(mental status))
But since the question asks which is most IMPORTANT it would be pulse to assess the need
for compressions
Standford uses simple descriptions how a pt feels during the day whereas Epworth uses (0-
3 scale) for each response.
Standford is EASIER and QUICKER
1. Midline - 1cm below edge of mandibale
2. Left - 2cm below the edge of mandible and 2cm left of midline
3. Right - 2cm below edge of midline and 2cm rt of midline
,Term 2 of 169

following should the sleep tech do?
. continue study
. add O2 to bi-level PAP
lower IPAP
. Awaken the pt
