Abstract

We review the current state of the diagnosis and treatment of the sleep-apnea syndrome in relation to the instrument telematics available. The advance poligraphy systems, the not supervised polysomnography at home, combined with videoconference could be effective with an inferior cost in the diagnosis and treatment of the sleep apnea syndrome (SAS). The importance of the research, development and technological innovation in this area, will allow to introduce systems that allow a greater yield of the laboratory polysomnography, approaching the average east population of diagnose and treatment.
