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
- Home respiratory polygraphy measures "oxygen saturation, airflow through nasal pressure, and thoracic and abdominal movements measured by piezoelectric bands"[1].
