Abstract
Various methods have been used for continuous airflow monitoring during sleep, including the use of oral and nasal thermistors and the face mask pneumo- tachygraph. Recording of tracheal breath sounds has been proposed by Krumpe [1] and Cummiskey [2] for the detection and quantification of sleep apnea and hypopnea. Tracheal sound recording was compared only with the conventional method of thermistors but not with direct measurements of airflow using a pneumotachygraph.
