The study by Jean Louis Pépin et al. published in Nature and Science of Sleep assessed whether the mandibular jaw movements (MJM) captured by Sunrise is a reliable surrogate of esophageal pressure (PES) in patients with suspected OSA.
Key findings
A total of 8,042 signal sequences were extracted from the PES and MM recordings from 38 patients.
This study demonstrated the high reliability of mandibular movement as a surrogate of the gold-standard esophageal pressure signal for measuring respiratory effort associated with obstructive, central or mixed apneas and/or hypopneas during sleep.
