BRPT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
According to recommended guidelines, the minimum duration Of a signifi- cant leg movement
is?: .5 seconds
(10 seconds maximum 8uv above resting EMG)
1. According to recommended guidelines four naps on an MSLT would be ac- ceptable when the
patient:: Normally an MSLT would have five nap opportunities. The only way it would have four is if the patient is being tested for
narcolepsy and they had two REM periods of sleep
2. According to recommended guidelines the AaSM would consider an optional to include this
in an adult Psg report: Hypoventilation. While hypoventilation is a recommended parameter in a pediatric Psg in an adult
Psg it is optional
3. Which type of calibration is based on a series of patient instructions intended to verify the
signal response and quality: physiological
4. According to recommended guidelines the maximum electrode impedance for
EEGandEOG recordings is:: 5000 ohms
5. The most important reason for performing an MWT: Measures the patient's ability to stay awake And not fall
asleep
6. According to recommended guidelines Unattended portable monitoring can be used as an
alternative to in lab testing when:: THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY OF MODERATE TO SEVERE OSA WITHOUT
COMORBID CONDITIONS
7. The electrode that's located 30% above the left preauricular crease is?: C3
8. According to recommended guidelines the device That should be used to monitor
airflow and detect obstructive apnea during a diagnostic study is?: - Oronasal thermal sensor
1/7
, 9. What is scored using the nasal pressure transducer?: Hypopneas
10. According to recommended guidelines what is the recommended EEG EOG sampling
rate for someone with suspected nocturnal seizures?: 500 HZ
11. The most appropriate setting a technologist would use to control the fre- quency band
of waveforms on a recording is the?: Sampling rate
12. When the amplitude of a signal exceeds The physical limitations of a channel The most
important adjustment a technologist can make to optimize waveform display is to :: Decrease the
sensitivity
13. The importance of selecting sampling rates according to recommended guidelines is to::
Minimize the aliasing attect
