Portable monitor testing is being increasingly used as an alternative strategy for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Portable monitors have become progressively sophisticated but lack standardization. Recent studies comparing clinical outcomes of ambulatory management pathways using portable monitor testing support their use in patients with a high pretest probability for obstructive sleep apnea. Whether ambulatory management is cost-effective and will improve patient access to diagnosis and treatment requires further investigation.
便携式监测仪检测正逐渐被作为阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停患者的诊断和治疗的替代策略来使用。便携式监测仪已经变得越来越复杂，但缺乏标准化。最近的研究比较了使用便携式监测仪检测的门诊管理路径的临床结果，支持其在阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停高术前可能性患者中的应用。门诊管理是否具有成本效益，以及是否会改善患者获得诊断和治疗的机会，还需要进一步研究。
