WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING WOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE RESPONSE? - PLACE THE PROBE ON THE PATIENTS EARLOBE A PATIENT WITH ONDINES CURSE WOULD BE EXPECTED TO HAVE WHICH TYPE OF RESPIRATORY IMPAIRMENT IN SLEEP - CENTRAL SLEEP APNEA ACCORDING TO THE AASM, INTERCOSTAL EMG ACTIVITY IS AN ACCEPTABLE ALTERNATIVE SESOR FOR RECORDING WHAT PARMETER - DETECTION OF RESPIRATORY EFFORT SLOW ROLLING EYE MOVEMENTS OCCURING DURING STAGE N1 SLEEP WILL BEST BE SEEN AT LOW FILTER SETTING OF - 0.3HZ A 1.0 HZ EEG WAVE IS MEASURED AT 15MM PEAK TO PEAK. THE SENSITIVITY IS 5UV/MM. THE VOLTAGE OF THE WAVE IS - 75UV A CHEYNE STOKES BREATHING PATTERN IS OFTEN SEEN IN PATIENTS WITH - CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE CAPNOGRAPHY MEASURES - EXPIRED CO2 WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING HIGH FREQUENCY FILTER SETTINGS IS RECOMMENDED FOR RECORDING SUBMENTAL EMG - 100HZ ENDOESOPHAGEAL PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS WOULD BE MOST HELPFUL IN EVALUTATING WHICH SLEEP DISORDERS - SLEEP RELATED BREATHING DISORDERS A PATIENT BEING EVALUATED FOR OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP DISORDERED BREATHING HAS ATRIAL FIBRILLATION. WHAT SHOULD THE TECH DO - CONTINUE TO OBSERVE AND DOCUMENT RHYTHM WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS THE MOST DANGEROUS CARDIAC RHYTHM - VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION HOW WOULD YOU COMPUTE SLEEP EFFICIENCY - TOTAL SLEEP TIME DIVIDED BY TIME IN BED X 100 HOW DO YOU CALCULATE APNEA + HYPOPNEA INDEX - # APNEAS AND HYPOPNEAS DIVIDED BY TST X60 WHICH HIGH PASS FILTER SETTING IS MOST APPROPRIATE FOR RECORDING RESPIRATION - 0.1HZ THE PURPOSE OF AN EXHALATION PORT IN A CPAP CIRCUIT IS - TO VENT EXHALED C02 WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING ARE CHARACTERISTIC OF A PVC - THE QRS IS WIDE AND BIZARRE A NORMAL VARIATION IN SINUS RHYTHM WHICH IS RELATED TO RESPIRATORY RATE AND RESULTS FROM VAGAL TONE INHIBITION DESCRIBES - SINUS ARRHYTHMIA A SUSTAINED HEART RATE OF >90 BEATS/MINUTE DESCRIBES - SINUS TACHYCARDIA PARTIAL AV BLOCK IN WHICH THE PR INTERVAL INCREASES PROGRESSIVELY UNTIL THERE IS AN ATRIAL IMPULSE WITHOUT A CORRESPONDING VENTRICULAR BEAT DESCRIBES - MOBITZ TYPE 1 AV BLOCK ACCORDING TO AASM, WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS THE RECOMMENDED DEFINITION OF A HYPOPNEA - DECREASE OF THE NASAL PRESSURE SIGNAL BY AT LEAST 30% FOR AT LEAST 10 SECONDS AND AT LEAST A 4% DESATURATION A(AN)____________ USES SELECTIVE ABSORPTION OF LIGHT THROUGH VASCULARIZED TISSUE TO MEASURE ___________________ - PULSE OXIMETER, OXYGEN SATURATION A PATIENT SCHEDULED FOR A PSG TO RULE OUT PARASOMNIA HAS A BENZODIAZEPINE ON THEIR LIST OF MEDICATIONS. WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT TO SEE ON THE PSG - DECREASED STAGE N3 A BENZO IS A HYPNOTIC, DECREASING SLEEP LATENCY AND % STAGE N1 IMPEDANCE IS A MEASURE OF - RESISTANCER YOU ARE PREPARING A PATIENT FOR PSG WHO PRESENTS WITH A HISTORY OF COPD. AS A TECH, YOU SHOULD - BE ALERTED TO THE POSSIBILITY OF LOW NOCTURNAL OXYGEN LEVELS AND CO2 TETENTION WHAT TYPE OF LIGHT IS USED IN A PULSE OXIMETER - INFRARED AND RED A PATIENT IS SCHEDULED FOR A PSG WITH TRICYCLIC ANTI DEPRESSANT MEDICATION ON HER LIST OF MEDICATIONS. WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT TO SEE ON HER PSG - INCREASED REM LATENCY TRICYCLIX ANTIDEPRESSANTS GENERALLY ARE STAGE R SUPPRESSING OFTER INCREASING REM LATENCY. WITHDRAWAL OF THE MEDICATION MAY LEAD TO AN INITIAL REBOUND OF STAGE R AND A SHORTENING OF THE REM LATENCY A HIGH PASS FILTER IS ALSO KNOWN AS - LOW FREQUENCY FILTER ACCORDING TO THE 10-20 INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM OF ELECTRODE PLACEMENT, O1 AND O2 ARE LOCATED - 5% ON EITHER SIDE OF OZ AN AROUSAL IN STAGE R SLEEP SHOULD BE SCORED IF - THERE IS A >3 SECOND BURST OF ALHP IN THE OCCIPITAL CHANNEL AND THERE IS A CONCURRENT INCREASE IN THE CHIN EMG LASTING AT LEAST 1 SECOND Hypercapnia is - Elevated carbon dioxide levels in the blood A thermocouple - is susceptible to artifact caused by CPAP flow at least three consecutive cycles of cyclical crescendo and decrescendo change in breathing amplitude with an index of 5 or more central apenas or hypopneas or a duration of at least 10 consecutive minutes is the AASM recommended rule for - cheyne stoke's breathing Hypoxemia is - decreased oxygenation in the blood If a patient with suspected Advanced sleep phase syndrome is studied in the Sleep Lab at conventional hours (recording time from 10 to 11 p.m. to 6 to 7 a.m) what would you expect to see - prolonged wakefulness at the end of the recording sleep efficiency is defined as - The ratio of all sleep stages to TRT REM sleep is associated with which of the following psychologic activity - variable heart rate, irregular respiration, and decrease in tonic muscle activity according to a AASM how many seconds of stable sleep must proceed each arousal - 10 seconds According to the AASM.
