And since this is a "titration" area, it's absolutely a

OK, the question has been raised if the above sign is supposed to be interpreted as "No-Asphyxiation-By-Plastic-Bag-Over-Your-Head".

That should already be a given, since (a) if one was going to go through all that trouble, why not simply self-asphyxiate at home (Bob undoubtedly has the software for that), and (2) titration protocol calls for intervention once O2 saturation drops below 60% or apneas > 120 seconds (or, since that event would appear as a Zero Leak Situation with a Respironics Product, Troubleshooting Procedure).

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

I thought it was a picture of someone lying on a pillow snoring, and the hand around their neck was someone else's.

I thought it was a person on a pillow, yawning, and he hadn't quite covered his mouth, yet.

Um... I'm of the opinion that last sign translates to: "Attention Patients: DO NOT flip fried eggs on hand-held griddles during the sleep study."

You see, that kind of activity would detract from the PSG experience.... without question.

Uncle_Bob, if your sleep study results came out so good why have been feeling crappy for such a long time?
