Abstract

Clinical Neurology Life Sciences & Biomedicine Neurosciences Neurosciences & Neurology Science & Technology
After polysomnography (PSG) is completed, the recording is analyzed. Scoring an overnight sleep study requires mastering of the scoring rules and good experience. In this chapter, we cover the scoring of sleep stages; different respiratory events such as apnea, hypopnea and hypoventilation; and periodic limb movements. Several illustrations are discussed to elucidate the scoring rules.
