All-night cardiorespiratory polygraphy - Limited polysomnography (in hospital conditions)

Hospital-based overnight cardiorespiratory polygraphy is a diagnostic test used to assess sleep apnea. During this procedure, the patient is monitored overnight to record various aspects of sleep, including breathing, heart rate, oxygen levels, and body movements. This data helps doctors identify breathing issues during sleep and make an accurate diagnosis.

How is the examination performed?

During the polygraphy, the patient will wear several sensors that measure different parameters. These sensors may include electrodes to monitor brain activity, breathing sensors, and a pulse oximeter to track oxygen levels. The test lasts all night, and the patient can behave normally while sleeping. In the morning, the sensors are removed, and the data is analyzed.

Duration of the examination

The overnight cardiorespiratory polygraphy lasts approximately 8 to 10 hours, depending on the duration of the patient’s sleep.
