RPSGT Practice Exam – Realistic Sleep Technologist Board Prep Questions
A PATIENTS OXIMETER READING DURING PATIENT CALIBRATION IS 88%. WHICH OF THE
FOLLOWING WOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE RESPONSE?
PLACE THE PROBE ON THE PATIENTS EARLOBE
A PATIENT WITH ONDINES CURSE WOULD BE EXPECTED TO HAVE WHICH TYPE OF
RESPIRATORY IMPAIRMENT IN SLEEP
CENTRAL SLEEP APNEA
ACCORDING TO THE AASM, INTERCOSTAL EMG ACTIVITY IS AN ACCEPTABLE
ALTERNATIVE SESOR FOR RECORDING WHAT PARMETER
DETECTION OF RESPIRATORY EFFORT
SLOW ROLLING EYE MOVEMENTS OCCURING DURING STAGE N1 SLEEP WILL BEST BE
SEEN AT LOW FILTER SETTING OF
,0.3HZ
A 1.0 HZ EEG WAVE IS MEASURED AT 15MM PEAK TO PEAK. THE SENSITIVITY IS 5UV/MM.
THE VOLTAGE OF THE WAVE IS
75UV
A CHEYNE STOKES BREATHING PATTERN IS OFTEN SEEN IN PATIENTS WITH
CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE
CAPNOGRAPHY MEASURES
EXPIRED CO2
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING HIGH FREQUENCY FILTER SETTINGS IS RECOMMENDED
FOR RECORDING SUBMENTAL EMG
100HZ
ENDOESOPHAGEAL PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS WOULD BE MOST HELPFUL IN
EVALUTATING WHICH SLEEP DISORDERS
SLEEP RELATED BREATHING DISORDERS
A PATIENT BEING EVALUATED FOR OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP DISORDERED BREATHING HAS
, ATRIAL FIBRILLATION. WHAT SHOULD THE TECH DO
CONTINUE TO OBSERVE AND DOCUMENT RHYTHM
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS THE MOST DANGEROUS CARDIAC RHYTHM
VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION
HOW WOULD YOU COMPUTE SLEEP EFFICIENCY
TOTAL SLEEP TIME DIVIDED BY TIME IN BED X 100

# 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
