Journal ArticleDOI
Obstructive sleep apnea devices for out-of-center (OOC) testing: technology evaluation.
Nancy A. Collop,Sharon L. Tracy,Vishesh K. Kapur,Reena Mehra,David Kuhlmann,Sam A. Fleishman,Joseph M. Ojile +6 more
TL;DR: The literature is currently inadequate to state with confidence that a thermistor alone without any effort sensor is adequate to diagnose OSA; if a thermal sensing device is used as the only measure of respiration, 2 effort belts are required as part of the montage and piezoelectric belts are acceptable in this context.
Journal ArticleDOI
The treatment of restless legs syndrome and periodic limb movement disorder in adults--an update for 2012: practice parameters with an evidence-based systematic review and meta-analyses: an American Academy of Sleep Medicine Clinical Practice Guideline.
R. Nisha Aurora,David A. Kristo,Sabin R. Bista,James A. Rowley,Rochelle S. Zak,Kenneth R. Casey,Carin I. Lamm,Sharon L. Tracy,Richard S. Rosenberg +8 more
TL;DR: Because PLMD therapy typically mimics RLS therapy, the primary focus of this review is therapy for idiopathic RLS, and the committee recommends a STANDARD AGAINST the use of pergolide.
Journal ArticleDOI
The treatment of central sleep apnea syndromes in adults: practice parameters with an evidence-based literature review and meta-analyses.
R. Nisha Aurora,Susmita Chowdhuri,Kannan Ramar,Sabin R. Bista,Kenneth R. Casey,Carin I. Lamm,David A. Kristo,Jorge M. Mallea,James A. Rowley,Rochelle S. Zak,Sharon L. Tracy,Sherene M. Thomas +11 more
TL;DR: The International Classification of Sleep Disorders, Second Edition (ICSD-2) distinguishes 5 subtypes of central sleep apnea syndromes (CSAS) in adults, and the preponderance of evidence on the treatment of CSAS supports the use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
Journal ArticleDOI
Practice parameters for the surgical modifications of the upper airway for obstructive sleep apnea in adults.
R. Nisha Aurora,Kenneth R. Casey,David A. Kristo,Sanford Auerbach,Sabin R. Bista,Susmita Chowdhuri,Anoop Karippot,Anoop Karippot,Carin I. Lamm,Kannan Ramar,Rochelle S. Zak,Timothy I. Morgenthaler,Sharon L. Tracy +12 more
TL;DR: Systematic and methodical investigations are needed to improve the quality of evidence, assess additional outcome measures, determine which populations are most likely to benefit from a particular procedure or procedures, and optimize perioperative care.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robert J. Weyant,Sharon L. Tracy,Theresa (Tracy) Anselmo,Eugenio D. Beltrán-Aguilar,Kevin J. Donly,William A. Frese,Philippe P. Hujoel,Timothy Iafolla,William Kohn,Jayanth V. Kumar,Steven M.
