摘要: Portable monitors (PMs) are widely used to monitor sleep apnea syndromes. However, the durability, safety, and ease of use PMs have not been well documented. We examined these factors with a type-3 (cardio-respiratory) PM sheet-style type-4 in unattended home settings. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on male employees wholesale company Osaka, Japan (n = 139, age 44.4 ± 8.36 years). Participants either two second third nights both fourth nights. self-administered questionnaire actigraphy were analyze quality, respectively. No safety problems reported. few repairs needed only for PMs. The more inconvenient bring (type 3: 15.1%; type 4: 68.3%). 71.2%; 0.7%) uncomfortable 81.3%; 9.4%). Blant-Altman plot scatter revealed high night-to-night reliability first-night effect apnea-hypopnea index observed (P 0.373, paired t-test). data suggested that latency increased, especially during first PM, which PM. durable, safe, easy reliable. Both can be obstructive (OSA)
