There is considerable variation in monitoring techniques and definitions of sleep-disordered breathing. Work underway in the Sleep Heart Health Study may help to clarify these issues. Home and portable monitoring have the potential to improve cost and convenience of diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders but are currently indicated only in specific instances. Detection and monitoring of pediatric sleep-disoriented breathing varies considerably from that of adults.
睡眠呼吸障碍的监测技术和定义存在很大差异。睡眠心脏健康研究正在进行的工作可能有助于澄清这些问题。家庭和便携式监测有可能提高睡眠障碍诊断和治疗的成本效益及便利性，但目前仅适用于特定情况。小儿睡眠呼吸紊乱的检测和监测与成人有很大不同。
