Overview

Other tests for sleep apnea include EEG, EMG, EOG, ECG, a nasal airflow sensor, and a snore microphone.

Sleep Apnea Other Diagnostic Tests

Other tests

• EEG (electroencephalogram) to measure and record brain wave activity
• EMG (electromyogram) to record muscle activity to determine REM stage sleep
• EOG (electro-oculogram) to record eye movements to determine REM stage sleep
• ECG (electrocardiogram) to record heart rate and rhythm.
• Nasal airflow sensor to record airflow
• Snore microphone to record snoring activity
