A novel technique in identifying unspecified sleep apnea has been developed. This technique
uses signals typical acquired from a bedside monitor that is found in critical care
environments. Those signals are then processed by a sleep analysis algorithm to provide an
Apnoea Hypopnea Index (AHI) score. This study is intended to determine whether the
prevalence of sleep disordered breathing identification among patients in a Coronary Care
Unit (CCU) using this novel approach is significantly different than using routine
techniques.
This study will focus on inpatients diagnosed with coronary conditions. Specific eligibility
criteria will include:
- Unstable angina
- Acute myocardial infarction
- Congestive heart failure Subjects enrolled in the study will be scored for sleep apnea
using a novel approach designed by the sponsor. That score will not be used in the
course of treatment. A follow-up call will determine whether the subject was identified
for sleep disordered breathing during the hospital stay. A comparison will be done on
the number of those identified with and without the use of the sleep scoring device.
