3 RERA's for pts < 12 y/o; 5 RERA's for pts => 12 y/o - ANS-CPAP should be increased
if how many Respiratory Event Related Arousals are observed?
1 hypopnea for pts < 12 y/o; 3 hypopneas for pts => 12 y/o - ANS-CPAP should be
increased if how many hypopneas are observed?
4 cwp for pediatric & adult - ANS-Recommended minimum starting CPAP should be?
8/4 for pediatric & adult - ANS-Recommended starting IPAP & EPAP should be?
15 cwp < 12 y/o, 20 cwp if on BiPAP; 20 cwp => 12y/o, 30 cwp if on BiPAP - ANS-
Recommended max CPAP?
4 & 10 cwp - ANS-Recommended min & max IPAP - EPAP differential?
Epoch of any stage of sleep. - ANS-To score sleep latency in a pediatric PSG, the
technologist identifies the first:
Time in minutes in each sleep stage. - ANS-According to RECOMMENDED guidelines,
the polysomnogram report must include:
QRS Complex - ANS-What ECG component represents ventricular depolarization?
Increasing sleep onset latency and awakenings. - ANS-Beta-blockers are known to
affect the polysomnogram by:
Titrate supplemental oxygen if the SpO2 remains < 89% for at least 5 minutes. - ANS-
During CPAP titration in an adult pt, the SpO2 monitor reads 87% in the absence of
obstructive respiratory events. What is the BEST action for the technologist to take?
What is the MAXIMUM recommended centimeter difference in IPAP and EPAP
pressure for adult bilevel titration? - ANS-10 cwp
During adult bilevel titration, the technologist should increase IPAP pressure after: -
ANS-Loud snoring for at least 3 minutes.
