HOW WOULD YOU COMPUTE SLEEP EFFICIENCY - ✔✔TOTAL SLEEP TIME DIVIDED BY
TIME IN BED X 100
HOW DO YOU CALCULATE APNEA + HYPOPNEA INDEX - ✔✔# APNEAS AND
HYPOPNEAS DIVIDED BY TST X60
WHICH HIGH PASS FILTER SETTING IS MOST APPROPRIATE FOR RECORDING
RESPIRATION - ✔✔0.1HZ
THE PURPOSE OF AN EXHALATION PORT IN A CPAP CIRCUIT IS - ✔✔TO VENT
EXHALED C02
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING ARE CHARACTERISTIC OF A PVC - ✔✔THE QRS IS WIDE
AND BIZARRE
A NORMAL VARIATION IN SINUS RHYTHM WHICH IS RELATED TO RESPIRATORY RATE
AND RESULTS FROM VAGAL TONE INHIBITION DESCRIBES - ✔✔SINUS ARRHYTHMIA
A SUSTAINED HEART RATE OF >90 BEATS/MINUTE DESCRIBES - ✔✔SINUS
TACHYCARDIA
, PARTIAL AV BLOCK IN WHICH THE PR INTERVAL INCREASES PROGRESSIVELY UNTIL
THERE IS AN ATRIAL IMPULSE WITHOUT A CORRESPONDING VENTRICULAR BEAT
DESCRIBES - ✔✔MOBITZ TYPE 1 AV BLOCK
WHAT IS THE MOST LIKELY LOW FREQUENCY FILTER SETTING OF CHANNEL 1 - ✔✔1.0
HZ
WHICH CHANNEL SETTING IS BEST FOR EMG RECORDING - ✔✔2 CHAN 2 HAS A VERY
QUICH RETURN TO BASELINE, (VERY SHORT TIME CONSTAT)
REFER TO THE 30 SECOND EPOCH SHOWN HERE. IF THE NEXT EPOCH CONTAINS 30
SECONDS OF LOW VOLTAGE, MIXED FREQUENCY IN THE 4-7 HZ RANGE, AND NO EYE
MOVEMENTS, WHAT IS THE SLEEP STAGE OF THAT NEXT EPOCH? - ✔✔STAGE N1 THE
EPOCH SHOWN CONTAINS A K COMPLEX, POSSIBLE A SPINDLE AND LESS THAN 20%
HIGH AMPLITUDE SLOW WAVES, MAKING IT STAGE N2 THERE IS AN AROUSAL AT THE
END OF THE EPOCH. IF THE FOLLOWING EPOCH IS AS DESCRIVED, WITHOUT EITHER A K
COMPLEX OR SPINDLE. IT IS THEN STAGE N1

THE PULSE OXIMETRY READINGS FROM FINGER PROBE. WHICH WOULD BE THE MOST
APPROPRIATE ACTION - ✔✔PUT THE PROBE ON THE PATIENTS EAR
SCORING STAGE N1 SLEEP REQUIRES AN ABSENCE OF - ✔✔SLEEP SPINDLES
CARDIAC ACTIVITY IN WHICH ALL ATRIAL IMPULSES ARE BLOCKED AT THE AV JUNCTION,
AND THE ATRIA AND VENTRICLES BEAT INDEPENDENTLY IS CALLED - ✔✔3RD DEGREE
