Q

What are the maximum electrode impedances for routine PSG recordings?

17
Q

What is the minimum Digital Resolution for routine PSG recordings?

A

12 bits per sample

18
Q

What are the recommended EEG derivations for F4, C4, and O2?

19
Q

Where should the backup electrodes be placed in case of malfunction?

A

F3, C3, O1, and M2

20
Q

To stage sleep, a minimum of three EEG channels are required. What are they?

A

Frontal, central, and occipital derivations

21
Q

What are the recommended EOG derivations and electrode positions?
__ - __ and __-__.

A

E1 - M2 and E2-M1

22
Q

Electrode positions for EOG: Where is E1 placed? Where is E2 placed?

A

E1: 1 cm below and 1 cm lateral to the left outer canthus
E2: 1 cm above and 1 cm lateral to the right outer canthus

23
Q

Why do we record eye movements?

A

To determine REM and NREM

Capture slow eye movements

24
Q

What is the standard calibration voltage for EOG?

25
What is an alternate derivation to EOG for E1 and E2?
E1: Place 1 cm out and 1cm below the left outer canthus E2: 1 cm out and 1 cm below the right outer canthus
26
When reading an EOG, if the waveform is going up, it's considered (positive or negative). If the waveform is going down, it's considered (positive or negative).
If the waveform is going up, it's negative. If the waveform is going down, it's positive. Very counterintuitive.
27
What does ALMA stand for?
Alternating Leg Movement Activity | D-14
28
How do you score sleep onset?
The start of the first epoch scored as any stage other than stage W. (D-26)
