Sleep recording is the quantitative method used in sleep centers in order to assess sleep disorders and to quantify pathological events occurring during sleep. Cardiorespiratory polysomnography is the method used for sleep recording. Standards for sleep recording stem back to 1968 and were compiled by Rechtschaffen and Kales with specifications for recording and analysis of the sleep EEG. An update considering digital technology and possibly computer based analysis techniques was needed. As the result of a two year process with a large committee in 2007 a revised manual was published. The manual includes for the first specifications for digital signals acquisition and some descriptions for developing computer based sleep analysis. The new manual was prepared using the formal tools of evidence based medicine. The method for preparing the new manual are presented critically the results relevant for computer based sleep recording and analysis are presented in detail and perspectives for computer based sleep analysis are pointed out.
睡眠记录是睡眠中心用于评估睡眠障碍以及量化睡眠期间发生的病理事件的定量方法。心肺多导睡眠图是用于睡眠记录的方法。睡眠记录标准可追溯到1968年，由 Rechtschaffen 和 Kales 汇编，其中包含睡眠脑电图记录和分析的规范。需要对数字技术以及可能基于计算机的分析技术进行更新。经过一个大型委员会两年的努力，2007年出版了修订手册。该手册首次包括数字信号采集规范以及一些基于计算机的睡眠分析开发说明。新手册是使用循证医学的正式工具编写的。批判性地介绍了编写新手册的方法，详细介绍了与基于计算机的睡眠记录和分析相关的结果，并指出了基于计算机的睡眠分析的前景。
