Components of polysomnography system
- It consists of host, display, amplifier, acquisition box, EEG / ECG / EOG / EMG sensor, chest and abdomen motion sensor, thermal airflow sensor, blood oxygen sensor, snoring sensor, body position sensor, signal cable, and isolated power supply.
Application of polysomnography system
- Record and analyze various physiological parameters during sleep, analyze and diagnose sleep disorders, sleep disordered breathing, sleep apnea, and hypoventilation syndrome diseases. It can record and analyze sleep breathing parameters such as EEG, ECG, EOG, EMG, thoracoabdominal breathing exercise, snoring, pulse, blood oxygen saturation, pulse wave, breathing frequency, and posture. Through the recording and analysis of the above parameters, the sleep disorders, sleep disordered breathing, sleep apnea, and hypoventilation syndrome are analyzed and diagnosed.
How polysomnography monitors work
- This test can monitor patient's sleep quality, monitor sleep time, sleep efficiency and staging by monitoring sleep EEG, EEG and EMG overnight. Have an objective assessment and understanding of your sleep quality. At the same time, you can monitor the nasal airflow, blood oxygen saturation and snoring, and perform staging and grading examination on patients with sleep disordered breathing. In addition, according to patients with different sleep disorders, such as periodic leg movements, restless leg syndrome, etc., different leads are set and related monitoring is performed to fully understand the cause of insomnia.
