Polysomnography in an attended hospital laboratory setting is the gold standard for the diagnosis of sleep-related breathing disorders. However, this method is expensive and waiting lists are long. Portable recording devices that can be used at home have been recently developed to improve upon the problems of polysomnography. We review the recent portable devices validated by polysomnography and discuss their precise role in the assessment of sleep-related respiratory disorders.
