Obstructive sleep apnea is a common, but under-recognized, condition. Polysomnography remains the gold standard for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea and determining whether treatment is appropriate. The development of home sleep apnea testing has allowed for a faster and more convenient method of diagnosis. Continuous positive airway pressure is the therapy of choice for most patients with obstructive sleep apnea, but otorhinolaryngologists can expect to see more and more patients looking for alternative treatments. This review highlights salient points relevant to sleep study application and interpretation for otorhinolaryngologists.
阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停是一种常见但未得到充分认识的病症。多导睡眠图仍然是诊断阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停以及确定治疗是否合适的金标准。家庭睡眠呼吸暂停检测的发展提供了一种更快且更便捷的诊断方法。持续气道正压通气是大多数阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停患者的首选治疗方法，但耳鼻喉科医生可能会看到越来越多寻求替代治疗的患者。这篇综述重点介绍了与耳鼻喉科医生进行睡眠研究应用和解读相关的要点。
