Polysomnography is the best method for precise evaluation of the grade of respiratory disorders during sleep. However, it is laborious and time consuming to analyze the variations in respiratory pattern, apnea index, oxygen saturation, blood pressure etc. in relation to sleep stages and body position. We tested an autoanalyzer DEE-1100 (Oxford) to facilitate evaluation of these data, especially the evaluation of respiration-related parameters. The results obtained with the autoanalyzer showed fairly good accordance with those obtained by examiner's reading in severely disturbed cases. However, the evaluation of apnea in slightly or moderately disordered cases was of questionable value, because no consideration was paid to intraluminal pressure recordings. In order to give fully satisfactory results to users, improvements in the software will be necessary.
