This polysomnogram split night procedure is essential for identifying sleep disorders, typically conducted as a split-night study. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is often used during this study, allowing technologists to adjust inspiratory and expiratory pressures to find the optimal fixed pressure that eliminates respiratory disturbances.
