Measurement methods with graded complexity for use in the lab as well as for home sleep testing (HST) are available for the diagnosis of sleep apnea, and there are different classification systems in existence. Simplified HST measurements, which record fewer parameters than traditional four- to six-channel devices, can indicate sleep apnea and can be used as screening tool in high-prevalence patient groups. Peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) is a technique which can be suitable for the diagnosis of sleep apnea in certain cases. Different measurement methods are used, which has an influence on the significance of the results. New minimal-contact and non-contact technologies of recording and analysis of surrogate parameters are under development. If they are validated by clinical studies, it will be possible to detect sleep apnea in need of treatment more effectively. In addition, this could become a solution to monitor the effectiveness of such treatment.
用于诊断睡眠呼吸暂停的检测方法具有不同的分级复杂性，可在实验室和家庭睡眠测试（HST）中使用，并且存在不同的分类系统。简化的 HST 测量记录的参数比传统的四到六通道设备少，可以指示睡眠呼吸暂停，并可用作高患病率患者群体的筛查工具。外周动脉张力测定（PAT）是一种在某些情况下可用于诊断睡眠呼吸暂停的技术。不同的测量方法有不同的影响。正在开发新的最小接触和非接触记录和分析替代参数的技术。如果这些技术能被临床研究验证，将有可能更有效地检测需要治疗的睡眠呼吸暂停。此外，这可能成为监测此类治疗效果的一种解决方案。
