I didn't attend this year and was curious what new information or items of interest transpired.

Home diagnostic studies followed by home auto-cpap with no in-lab titration.
Expected to be 80% of sleep studies within next 2 years.

Start moving that way or die.

That was the take-home message.

*Chuckling.* Glad I saved myself a few extra vacation days somewhere else in lieu of hearing that message.

Good thing I already do some (couple of insurance carriers force the issue). I presume people out there are normally using the HST-3 class? I typically wait 2 weeks before checking an overnight oximetry (if felt to be necessary). Do you guys wait the same amount of time?
