A method and an apparatus are described for the ambulatory detection and diagnosis of the sleep apnea syndrome, in which the physiological parameters of heart rate, respiratory and snoring sounds, the degree of oxygen saturation of the blood and the bodily position of the patient are measured and stored in coded form by means of a mobile apparatus. The stored data are transferred to a computer and then analyzed. The mobile apparatus comprises a detection and storage unit and the following pickups: three EKG electrodes, one laryngeal microphone, an oximeter finger sensor and a position pickup. The apparatus according to the invention permits an ambulatory diagnosis of sleep apnea, which is comparable in its meaningfulness to diagnoses based on stationary sleep laboratory tests.

La méthode consiste à mesurer certains paramètres physiologiques, soit le rythme cardiaque, les bruits liés à la respiration et aux ronflements, le degré de saturation en oxygène du sang et la position corporelle du patient, et à stocker cette information sous forme de code au moyen d'un appareil mobile. Les données stockées sont transférées à un ordinateur, puis analysées. L'appareil mobile comprend une unité de détection et de stockage et les détecteurs suivants : trois électrodes pour ECG, un microphone apposé sur le larynx, un capteur d'oxymètre pour le doigt et un détecteur de position.
