Comparison of 2 Different Hook-up Protocols to Perform Home-based Polysomnography

Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Saint Pierre102 enrolled

Overview

Comparison of 2 hook-up protocols to perform home-based sleep studies in patients suspected of sleep-disordered breathing. First one: hook-up is performed in the hospital, around 4 PM, and the patient go home with the portable monitoring. Second one: hook-up is performed home, around 7 PM, and the patient has not to move after hook-up.

All the patients will undergo 2 polysomnographies, according to two different hook-up protocols, within 2 weeks. Order of the exams will be randomized. We hypothesised that quality of recording is better when hook-up is performed at home. Final polysomnographic diagnosis, with the 2 different techniques, must be similar.
