Stopped: Due to the recent COVID-19 surge the majority of our staff was pulled from sleep care to inpatient care. Thus, we have had to temporarily pause in-lab studies until our staff returns. We hope to proceed with recruitment as soon as possible.
The present study is a prospective, single cohort study involving patients on narcotic medications, undergoing overnight sleep studies in the clinical sleep laboratory. The main hypothesis for the study is that the the frequency of sleep respiratory events (including central apneas) identified by a home sleep apnea test (HSAT) device (WatchPAT200U (wp200U) with centrals; Itamar Medical Ltd.) will significantly correlate with in-lab polysomnography (gold standard).
