There is a kit consisting of a home sleep study that records up to five information channels: respiratory effort, pulse, oxygen saturation, nasal flow and snoring. This is accompanied by a pulse oximeter, a non-invasive method to find out the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in the blood and heart rate.
By analyzing the flow of air and pulse oximeter can detect apneas, hypopneas, flow limitations with snoring, snoring itself and keystrokes for later analysis.
Advantages and disadvantages of CPAP or device that allows breathing against Orthoapnea
