Polysomnography is a diagnostic procedure that monitors a patient while they sleep to identify sleep apnea. It tracks several bodily functions such as brain waves, eye movements, heart rate, and breathing patterns. Pulmonary function test measures lung function, ventilation-perfusion scan evaluates blood flow to the lungs, and bronchoscopy examines the airways in the lungs, none of which are directly related to sleep apnea.
