چکیده
1467 Polysomnography and MSLT for Children—Aurora et al 1.0 INTRODUCTION A level 1 comprehensive nocturnal polysomnogram (PSG) is commonly used to evaluate children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). The PSG, however, is also used in evaluations for non-respiratory issues, such as sleep-related movements or behaviors, and is used in conjunction with a multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) for hypersomnia. Previously published practice parameters concerning the pediatric PSG have focused solely on sleep-related respiratory disorders.1-5 In 2005, the AASM published practice parameters for the indications for PSG6 and the clinical use of the MSLT and the maintenance of wakefulness test (MWT)7; both discuss nonrespiratory disorders but do not provide specific recommendations for children.

Importance of Urinary Drug Screening in the Multiple Sleep Latency Test and Maintenance of Wakefulness Test.
STUDY OBJECTIVES Multiple sleep latency testing (MSLT) and the maintenance of wakefulness test (MWT) are gold-standard objective tests of daytime sleepiness and alertness; however, there is marked variability in their interpretation and practice. This study aimed to determine the incidence of positive drug screens and their influence on MSLT, MWT, and polysomnographic variables. METHODS All p...
متن کاملUnderutilization of the MSLT in sleepy patients with a short onset REM period (SOREMP) in the sleep clinic.
OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND A nocturnal sleep onset REM period (defined as REM onset latency ≤ 15 min; SOREMP) occurs rarely and research has shown that the phenomenon is specific for type 1 and 2 narcolepsy. However, little is known about the meaningfulness of the phenotype in general sleep clinic patients because those that exhibit the phenomenon often present with few traditional narcolepsy symptom...
متن کاملActigraphy, the Alternative Way?
The gold standards for measurement of sleep and wake are polysomnography (PSG) and the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) and will remain so. Both tests are labor intensive and expensive when seen from the viewpoint of the sleep laboratory and a heavy burden for the patient, in particular for children and their parents. Furthermore, the use of MSLT in children is hampered by the lack of reliabl...
متن کاملUsefulness of a Nocturnal SOREMP for Diagnosing Narcolepsy with Cataplexy in a Pediatric Population.
STUDY OBJECTIVES We investigated the diagnostic accuracy of a nocturnal sleep onset rapid eye movement sleep period (nSOREMP) for the identification of narcolepsy with cataplexy (N+C) among children and adolescents referred to the sleep laboratory for an overnight polysomnography (PSG) and multiple sleep latency test (MSLT). DESIGN Retrospective chart review of sleep clinic notes and PSG and ...

Out of a group of 250 consecutive patients who were examined for various disorders of sleep and waking at Ghent University Hospital within a period of 24 months, 30 patients with hypersomnolence associated with a suspected underlying neurological etiology were selected. The population consisted of 15 males and 15 females with mean age of 36 years (range: 16-60 years). Twenty-one patients had ha...
