Core Tip	This is the first review that evaluated the use of Portable Monitoring as an alternative method for diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea in specific population. Additionally, we present the physiopathological background, technical considerations and clinical implications on the use of PM in age extremes and patients with comorbidites. We also describe the advantages, limitations and applications of these devices in children, elderly, patients with cardiovascular or respiratory diseases and obese patients.
