I think that what zzzgirl was asking was whether techs were being asked to perform two CPAP Trials or 2 split nights in the same night. I used to ask my techs to do two of whatever ended up being scheduled because to try and schedule only one CPAP cannot guarantee that the other patient won't have a terrible time during a baseline study.

You can try to plan and schedule as you will but the truth is that you can't be sure what will be walking through the door until whatever it is walks through the door - maybe that is why the techs used to ask for a camera on the outside door?
