Patient Name: Bob Bruxism Date of Birth: 9/11/1976 Study Date: 11/10/2010 PORTABLE SLEEP MONITORING REPORT PATIENT INFORMATION: This 34 year old male was referred for a type 3 portable sleep study. The study was conducted using the Nox T3 home sleep testing device. The test was conducted to investigate the possibility of sleep disordered breathing. The study included the following channels: EKG, EMG, Nasal-Oro pressure, snoring, thoracic and abdominal RIP effort belts, actigraphy, oximetry, heart rate and body position. IMPRESSION: There was bruxism, snoring, apneas and hypopneas associated with arterial oxygen desaturations. The number of bruxism events was 45 providing ABI of 0.9. The overall apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) was 17.5. The supine apnea/hypopnea index was 17.5. The mean arterial oxygen saturation was 94%. The lowest arterial oxygen saturation was 86%. Findings are consistent with severe sleep related bruxism 327.53 moderate obstructive sleep apnea syndrome 327.23. Impression Findings are consistent with Sleep Related Bruxism. The Bruxism count was 45 events, an average of 5.2 per hour The ABI (Apnea Bruxism Index) was 0.9. (range 0.0 to 1.0) Moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea. RECOMMENDATIONS: Proper sleep hygiene should be reviewed. Consider behavioral therapy such as weight reduction as appropriate for this patient. Consider advising patient against the use of alcohol or sedatives in so much as these substances can worsen excessive daytime sleepiness and respiratory disturbances of sleep. Consider advising patient against participating in potentially dangerous activities while drowsy such as operating a motor vehicle, heavy equipment or power tools in so much as it can put them and others in danger.
