Question 1 of 4

Airflow falls by at least 90% while thoracic and abdominal effort continue. Which event is most likely?

A.Obstructive apneaB.Central apneaC.Mixed apneaD.RERA

Question 2 of 4

Airflow and respiratory effort are absent together for a qualifying interval. Which event is most likely?

A.Obstructive apneaB.HypopneaC.Central apneaD.Flow limitation

Question 3 of 4

An event begins without respiratory effort and ends with increasing obstructive effort before airflow resumes. How should it be classified?

A.Mixed apneaB.Central apnea onlyC.Obstructive apnea onlyD.RERA

Question 4 of 4

Progressive inspiratory flattening and increasing effort end in an EEG arousal without meeting apnea or hypopnea criteria. Which event is most likely?

A.Central apneaB.Periodic limb movementC.Respiratory effort-related arousalD.Isolated desaturation
