Figure 3 Polysomnography overview, visualizing the pronounced desaturation (yellow background) in the right lateral position (red line in the position graph). MT = movement time; R = stage REM; S1-S4, stages 1-4; SpO2 (Spo2) = oxygen saturation as measured by pulse oximetry; TCCO2 (Ptcco2) = transcutaneous carbon dioxide pressure; W = wakefulness.

Figure 4 A 5-minute window of the polysomnography recording. A, Left lateral position: central sleep apnea/Cheyne-Stokes respiration causing moderate oxygen desaturations. B, Right lateral position: central sleep apnea/Cheyne-Stokes respiration with central apneas followed by a greater degree of desaturation. Cycle length: left lateral position, 47.5 s; right lateral position, 34.7 s. EOG-L, EOG-R, = electro-oculography (electrodes at left and right eye, respectively); Flow_DR = nasal respiratory flow. See Figure 3 legend for expansion of other abbreviations. CHEST , e51-e55DOI: ( /j.chest ) Copyright © 2017 American College of Chest Physicians Terms and Conditions
