Hypop- which may cause numerous irreversible complications with severe nea defines the presence of reduced (to 50% of average physi- consequences without treatment. The sleep laboratory test called ological range), but not ceased respiration movements, while polysomnography is the main aid to the experts to recognize and at apnea the respiration movement is totally ceased or obtain the grade of SAS. A polysomnographic record consists of decreased to less than 5% of the average physiological range. several channels such as nasal airflow, bloodpressure, abdominal and thoracic excursion, blood oxygen saturation etc. Several well- known methods exist to analyze one or more of these signals. In The origin of apnea can be central, which is caused by the abnormalities of the central motoneurial system, or obstruc- this paper we present a me
