The evidence was based on a literature search of relevant articles published through December 2004, which resulted in identifying and extracting data from 182 articles, which were graded using standardized approaches. Diverse physiological sensors have been utilized to quantify airflow limitation in patients with suspected SRBD. Although thermistry appears appropriate for identifying apneas, the available evidence...
