Neonatal apneas are being studied in the laboratory using polysomnographic recordings in lambs. Standard equipment, requiring animal restraint, disrupts sleep and prevents development of spontaneous apneas. The aim of the current work was to develop and validate a wireless recording equipment to study freely moving lambs. Firstly, a radiotelemetry equipment composed of a multichannel FM transmitter and a receiver was developed. Secondly, to test the telemetry equipment, each biopotential - [electroencephalogram (EEG), electrooculogram (EOG), electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyograms (EMGs), nasal airflow] - was recorded simultaneously by standard equipment and by telemetry (5 lambs). The results indicated an excellent concordance between signals obtained by both systems. Finally, the 8-channel telemetry prototype was tested for polysomnographic recordings (16 lambs). Results obtained confirmed the possibility of recording frequent REM sleep periods and spontaneous apneas. In conclusion, this radiotelemetry polysomnographic equipment brings new possibilities for research on neonatal apneas.
