Understanding Your Sleep Study Results: RDI, Desaturation, and Sleep Architecture
The report of sleep polysomnography (also known as the overnight laboratory sleep study) plays such an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders--especially sleep apnea--that every patient who undergoes one should request a copy. It will prove much more interesting and useful if the patient can read the report with some understanding; it should not be that difficult to learn what to make of it, at least in part. Moreover, it can help a lot in relaying information to other doctors who need to know more than just a diagnostic impression given to a patient in a brief discussion with a sleep specialist.
