Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Patients who are cachectic (BMI \<18.5 kg/m2) or obese (BMI \>32 kg/m2).
* Patients should not have enlarged tonsils (size 3-4) and/or adenoids, nasal polyps, neuromuscular disease, hypoglossal nerve palsy, abnormal pulmonary function tests, severe pulmonary hypertension, valvular heart disease, heart failure (New York Heart Association, NYHA III-IV), recent myocardial infarction, significant cardiac arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, stroke, opioid usage, uncontrolled hypertension, known allergic reaction to adhesives or latex, active psychiatric disease, co-existing non-respiratory sleep disorder, pregnancy or significant metal implants or cardiac/other pacemakers.
* Patients with facial hair that affects the correct placement of the electrodes, if they are unwilling to shave.
