The varied types of studies are referred to as Polysomnography, (PSG). Polysomnography is a comprehensive recording of the bio physiological changes that occur during sleep. It is usually performed at night when people sleep. Physiologic Somnography Analyzers typically perform evaluations of electroencephalography (EEG), electrocardiography (ECG), electro-oculography (EOG), electromyography (EMG), periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD), respiration, temperature, and pulse oximetry readings. Physiologic Somnography Analyzers also provide audiovisual information about the sleeping patient for behavioral analysis. Somnography Analyzers consist of electrodes and instruments that measure physiologic activities; a headbox that includes samplers, filters, and amplifiers; and appropriate software for processing and patient reporting. These analyzers are used in the diagnostic evaluation of sleep and sleep-related disorders, such as difficulty falling asleep (insomnia), difficulty staying awake (hypersomnia), apnea, and other sleep disorders associated with medical or psychiatric conditions.
