Additional tests are needed for an accurate diagnosis of most sleep disorders in children. Of these additional tests, especially when study of sleep breathing disorders in children is required, complete overnight polysomnography is currently considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of sleep disorders. There are, however, other simplified tests, although less informative and reliable, which may be acceptable diagnostic alternatives, such as respiratory polygraphy and pulse oximetry recording. This article will explain the main indications, methodology and advantages and disadvantages of the various sleep tests.
要准确诊断大多数儿童睡眠障碍，还需要进行其他测试。在这些额外的测试中，特别是当需要研究儿童睡眠呼吸障碍时，整夜完整的多导睡眠监测目前被认为是诊断睡眠障碍的金标准。然而，还有其他一些简化测试，尽管信息量和可靠性较低，但可能是可接受的诊断替代方法，如呼吸多导描记术和脉搏血氧饱和度记录。本文将解释各种睡眠测试的主要适应症、方法以及优缺点。
