RECRUITINGINTERVENTIONAL
Variability in Nocturnal Oxygen Parameters in Suspected Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
Variability in Nocturnal Oxygen Parameters in Suspected Obstructive Sleep Apnea
About This Trial
The investigators would like to evaluate the variability of oxygen (and PPG) parameters during 7 nights at home. Oxygen (and PPG) parameters will also be evaluated during 1 night at the hospital (diagnostic polysomnography). Based on currently developed algorithms, surrogate apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), cardiovascular status and the variability of these parameters will be evaluated.
Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)
Who May Qualify:
- Patients with suspected OSA with a clinical indication to perform a polysomnography
Who Should NOT Join This Trial:
- Patients younger than 18 yrs
- Patients not able to read or understand the willing to sign a consent form content on the purpose of the study, due to visual, intellectual or language issues
- Patients with neuromuscular disease or chest wall disease with suspected hypoventilation
Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
