3 Outline History and Introduction to sleep, stages, problems History of polysomnography Aspects of sleep testing Uses Home sleep testing, overview, types Insurance (Medicaid/Health Choice) Comparisons Verdict
4 Sleep Essential and wonderful Interesting theories as to why we need it and what causes it: 500BC Alcmaeon: Sleep is the loss of consciousness occurring when blood drains from the vessels on the surface of the body 350BC Aristotle: Sleep is a time of physical renewal. Sleep is a seizure of the primary sense organ, rendering it unable to actualize its powers; arising of necessity for the sake of its conservation.
5 Stages of Sleep Non REM Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 REM
6 Stages of Sleep Non REM Stage 1: Not quite asleep, not quite awake In this stage, the muscles are active and the eyes move slowly Alpha waves predominate
7 Stages of Sleep Non REM Stage 2: Theta activity Becomes more difficult to rouse the sleeper Alpha waves interrupted by sleep spindles and K complexes
8 Stages of Sleep Non REM Stage 3: Previously Divided into stage 3 and 4 Slow wave sleep Delta Activity Majority of environmental stimuli (within reason) produce no physical response in the sleeper
9 Stages of Sleep REM Paradoxical sleep Sleeper is hardest to awaken EEG demonstrates brain function similar to being awake Oxygen consumption by brain is higher than wakeful state Cycles every 90 minutes Muscles are paralyzed good and bad OSA is worst during this stage
10 Stages of Sleep REM continued
11 Too good to last? Sleep disorders Insomnia Bruxism Narcolepsy Idiopathic Night terrors Restless legs Sleepwalking Somniphobia Kleine-Levin Syndrome Periodic limb movement disorders Circadian rhythm disorders Sleep disordered breathing
12 Sleep Disordered Breathing Simple snoring to obstructive sleep apnea Objective studies are required to definitively distinguish
13 Polysomnography Poly ( Much i.e. many channels) + Somnus ( Sleep ) Initially started with the EEG First successfully used on a human brain by the German neurologist Hans Berger Coined term Elektrenkephalogramm From the EEG, additional measurements were added Eye Movements (EOG) Heart rhythm (EKG) Muscle activity (EMG) Respiratory airflow Respiratory effort Pulse oximetry
14 Polysomnography Setup Generally 12 leads with 1 or more devoted to the following EEG Airflow monitors Chin muscle tone sensors Leg movement sensors Eye movement sensors (EOG) Heart rate/rhythm SpO2 Chest wall motion sensor Upper abdominal motion sensor
15 Grading PSG AHI = ((Number of apneic episodes + number of hypopneic episodes)x60)/total sleep time RDI = ((Number of apneic episodes + hypopneic episodes + RERAs)60)/total sleep time i.e. the average number of events per hour of sleep RERAs respiratory effort related arousals Total sleep time is represented in minutes
16 Polysomnography Respiratory Criteria Adults Apnea is defined as 90% decrease in respiratory flow rate for 10+ seconds Hypopnea is poorly defined, 50-75% decrease in respiratory flow for 10+ seconds, +/- 2-4% decrease in O2 saturation Many insurance companies will only cover treatments for AHI (apnea-hypopnea index) >15, or >5 with 2+comorbidities AHI 5-14 Mild, Moderate, >30 severe
17 Polysomnography Adults Respiratory Criteria Comorbities HTN CHF Afib CAD Asthma Stroke DM Obesity Nocturia GERD
18 Polysomnography Respiratory Criteria Children Respiratory rate is greater than that of adults Duration of apnea between 6-8 seconds No poorly defined as to what +criteria is for children Generally accepted that AHI > 1 is a positive result (prepubescent)
19 Types of PSG Whole night study Defacto Gold standard for sleep studies, most common type of PSG Diagnostic PSG and CPAP titration are performed on 2 separate nights PSG is often performed in split night studies ½ the night is diagnostic, ½ the night is CPAP titration This practice has never been definitively validated when compared to whole night studies If the first half of the split night study is inconclusive for OSA, it is recommended to be converted to full night Decreases latency to CPAP treatment Decreases load on testing infrastructure Multiple Sleep Latency Test Patient is observed falling asleep multiple times minute nap opportunities spread out by 2 hours each Narcolepsy testing, gauge of sleepiness Should take the full minutes, <5minutes is severe sleepiness
20 Contraindications to PSG There are no absolute contraindications Things to consider Is the patient medically stable to transfer for a study? Adhesive allergies? Seizures?
21 Home Sleep Testing Components Oximetry Chest/Abdominal belts Used to determine central vs.. obstructive Chest/Abd effort but no airway flow obstructive apnea No Effort, no airway flow central apnea No EEG* Patients sleep in their own bed!
22 Home Sleep Testing Is (rightly) compared directly to PSG Like the attended PSG, home equipment may allow for CPAP titration: autopap CPAP titration sets a pressure to be used (often for years) based on ~4 hours of poor sleep AutoPAP machines use complex algorithms to titrate the appropriate pressure on a moment-by-moment basis
23 The Process Technician reviews the nature of the test and shows the patient how to attach the apparatus Patient must start the recording before going to bed and stop it when they awaken They bring the machine back, data is downloaded into computer where data is analyzed Autoscore vs. Manual Autoscore often sufficient Manual correction does not require advanced degrees or excessive training, expert vs amateur K 0.83 in diagnosing OSA Nigro ApneaLink study Medicaid is not satisfied with autoscore
24 The process Mysleeptest.com and NovaSom have a slightly different approach (paired with dentists who make dental appliances) NovaSom is a recording device with 5 channels and no up front clinic costs
25 Types of Home Sleep Studies ApneaLink Apnoscreen Compass Edentec Embletta Lifeshirt MESA M IV Poly-MESAM Remmers Sleep recorder Sandman SNAP Somnocheck Somté Stardust WatchPAT and many more!
26 Types of Home Sleep Studies Embletta ResMed Recording device with 14 channels Chest/abd position sensors Pulse oximetry Nasal airflow etc. Cost: $7 disposables, $3500 for device
27 Types of Home Sleep Studies ApneaLink ResMed Recording device with 4 channels Respiratory effort Pulse/oximetry Nasal airflow Cost: $10 disposables, $2490 for device
28 Types of Home Sleep Studies Somté Sleep Recorder Multiple available signal inputs (13 channels) EEG EMG Pressure Airflow Thoracic/abdominal effort Limb Position O2 Sat% Pulse rate/waveform Etc. Cost: $9 disposables, $4500 for device
29 Types of Home Sleep Studies Somté is not entirely unique nor are the other aforementioned data recorders Proprietary software Find one that you are comfortable with All require a nasal cannula to measure airflow except
30 Types of Home Sleep Studies WatchPAT Unique No nasal cannula required Measures Peripheral Artery Tone Mirrors changes in autonomic system Allows for detection of apneas/hypopneas, REM, approximation of sleep architecture Allows for calculation of RDI and AHI using sleep time rather than test time RDI with a smaller denominator will tend to be larger and result in fewer false negatives Cost: $60 disposables, $4400 for device

33 Coverage of various sleep studies is constantly changing
34 Current Medicaid As of 2006 portable studies were not reimbursable through Medicare/Medicaid Updated 4/1/2013 Specific considerations for attended polysomnography includes: May be considered medically necessary as a diagnostic test in patients presenting with: Narcolepsy, sleep apnea, snoring, parasomnias, periodic limb movement disorder, chronic insomnia Specific criteria are listed partly to define and partly as exclusion Sleep apnea witnessed cessation of breathing, apnea defined as cessation of airflow for >10s. Hypopnea is an abnormal breathing event lasting >10s and at east 4%O2 desaturation Snoring Must meet at least one of the following: disturbed sleep, daytime somnolence, excessive fatigue, apneic breathing, hypercapnea
35 Current Medicaid Unattended sleep studies must: Use appropriate device Interpreter must have certification or subspecialty certification in sleep medicine and be an active staff member of an accredited sleep lab (by American Academy of Sleep Medicine or Joint Commission) All of the raw data will be interpreted by the physician/interpreter Test MUST gather 6 hours of data during the patient s usual sleep period
36 Current Medicaid Patient must have high pretest probability of positive test including 4 of the following: Habitual snoring Witnessed apneas Gasping Morning headaches Daytime somnolence BMI>35, i.e. severe obesity No sleep disorders other than OSA must be suspected Age >18y (younger is considered purely investigational)
37 Advantages Patients sleep in their own bed, fewer wires More closely approximates patient s actual sleep cycle Uses the same sensors/equipment as PSG Respiratory/oximetry equipment and analysis Chest/Abdomen position sensors Report results in familiar format RDI, AHI Improves access to sleep study in places w/o labs (or interpreters) Cost?
38 Shortcomings Not to be used when evaluating patients who may have: Central sleep apneas Insomnia Periodic limb movement disorder Narcolepsy Or patients with significant comorbidity: Neuromuscular disease Congestive heart failure Moderate-severe pulmonary disease
39 Shortcomings Children make for unpredictable patients Young/small children may not have the respiratory volume to accurately drive the meters Age cutoff has been informally set at 4y; however, this is subject to specific equipment and the comfort level of the interpreting professional
40 Laboratory vs. Portable? 2006 Ghegan, Gillespie et al performed meta analysis Prospective Cohort studies Investigated: RDI, Mean low spo2, sleep time(?), average cost per examination 27 studies examined using 14 different devices All but 1 device (watchpat) measured respiratory flow, and 9 allowed for measurement of chest wall effort 2-7 different channels per device Compared to in-laboratory PSG values
41 Ghegan, Gillespie et al Results, 12 studies deemed sufficient quality to directly compare RDI and spo2 endpoints 9 of the studies indicated no difference in PSG and home sleep study RDI 3 studies demonstrated lower home sleep study RDI than PSG Pooled results yielded statistically significant answer that home sleep study tends to supply RDI 10% lower than PSG Study found no difference in the spo2 between home sleep study and PSG
42 Ghegan, Gillespie et al Cost Analysis was done for home sleep studies in 4 different countries Portable studies are invariably cheaper Ranged from 38%-88% less expensive than in-lab PSG Maximum sleep lab cost was $1800 (American lab)!!!
43 Ghegan, Gillespie et al Poor sleep [time] skewing results? Within this analysis, the amount of estimated sleep time was actually larger in the in-lab PSG group Highly influenced by a single large study Lower portable estimated sleeping times would actually raise the reported portable RDIs
44 Summary Verdict Home sleep study provides similar diagnostic information to attended sleep studies May underestimate severity of disease Not for diagnosis of less common sleep disturbances The landscape of medicine is changing Insurances are shifting coverage of a number of previously supported procedures/tests It is not for insurance to determine medical necessity
45 Summary Verdict Home sleep testing reduces cost Home sleep study improves access Home sleep study should be viewed as a viable diagnostic modality which is awaiting broad acceptance
