This was my FIRST sleep study without the CPAP machine

The sleep study was performed using comprehensive polysomnography(CPT 95810)
the patients sleep was disturbed with sleep disordered breathing. The patient had an apnea/hypopnea index of 8.5. there were 2 apneas and 48 hypopneas. These events were 100.0% obstructive events. The average duration of the events was 15.5 seconds and the longest was 24.7 seconds. the sleep latency was 19.9 minutes and the sleep efficiency was 85.6%.
Stage AWAKE 14.4% Stage1 2.3% Stage 2 68.1% Stage 3/4 0.0% Stage REM 5.2% (Normative values: Stage 1 2-7%, Stage 2 45-65%, Stage 3/4 10-15%, Stage REM 15-20%)
the baseline o2 saturation was 95.8% with a low SaO2 of 90.0%. Average heart rate was 60.0BPM with a minimum of heart rate of 50.0 and a maximum of 80.0.
