If further treatment suggested, we will provide your patient with a referral document to expedite local care.

Evidence highlights

Planning adenotonsillectomy: Overnight oximetry supports surgical planning in paediatric OSA — Nixon et al., Pediatrics 2004;113:e19–e25.

Remote vs hospital oximetry: Remote-delivered oximetry (RDO) was as accurate as hospital-delivered oximetry (HDO), preferred by families and faster to complete — Healthcare (Basel) 2023;11(2):278.

Triple Test (POSTT) thresholds & roles: McGill ≥2 positive; PSQ >0.33 positive; Brodsky III–IVpositive; combined approach designed for sensitive, scalable screening and referral.
