Description

The purpose of this research is to compare home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) to in-lab overnight sleep study. We want to see if HSAT in children can be an alternative to in-lab sleep study for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea.

What to expect
This study will involve at least one visit to the CHOP Main Hospital Sleep Lab to set-up the HSAT device for an at-home sleep study (which is in addition to the in-lab sleep study your medical team ordered). This visit will occur during the day and should last between 45 minutes to one hour. This study will also involve a short physical exam and completion of questionnaires about sleep and your opinions about the at-home sleep study.
