Data from Pulmonary Polygraphy Tests Performed on Infants with Various Congenital or Respiratory Conditions who were Being Evaluated for Sleep Disordered Breathing

Septimiu Murgu

This short report describes respiratory indicators of polygraphies (PG) performed to probe several sleep- related diseases of breathing in children. It refers to the work of Michelet, Successful home respiratory polygraphy to probe sleep- disordered breathing in children, Sleep Medicine. Suggestions for PGs were grouped according to 6 orders craniofacial contortion, neuromuscular complaint, rotundity, suspected obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), punctuality, and other. The reported data concern the original interpretable PGs (N = 289); original was defined as performed for the first time in any subject. Non-interpretability was defined as absent or unreliable oxygen achromatism by palpitation oximetry (SpO₂), and/ or tailwind and respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) inflow trace signals during time anatomized. Anatomized time is reported. In a subset of cases, transcutaneous carbon dioxide partial pressure (ptcCO₂) was also measured. Data may bere-used for comparison in unborn validating exploration for PGs in children.
