POLYSOMNOGRAPHY
Certified sleep study service
A sleep study, also known as polysomnography, is a test that measures and records several body activities while asleep to identify and understand sleep problems. It monitors brain waves, heart rate, respiration, oxygen levels, and body movements as you sleep.
Why is sleep study needed?
It assists patients in diagnosing a variety of sleep problems, including sleep apnea, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, and narcolepsy.
Assessment is used to evaluate the efficacy of sleep problem therapies. Understanding sleep patterns: It reveals important information about your sleep cycle, stages, and disturbances.
What to Expect During Sleep Study:
You should remove any jewellery or other things that may interfere with the test.
Monitoring: You will be monitored all night as you sleep.
Results:
A sleep specialist will review the results and consult with your doctor to determine the next steps.
Is sleep study painful?
No, sleep study is not painful and is often regarded as a safe and non-invasive treatment.
Following a sleep study, a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine is commonly used to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). CPAP devices provide a consistent stream of air pressure through a mask to keep the upper airway open during sleeping.
How they work:
CPAP machines use modest, consistent air pressure to maintain the airway open and avoid collapse, leading to improved sleep and breathing.
While CPAP is the most prevalent, other types of positive airway pressure machines, such as bilevel PAP (BPAP) or auto-adjusting PAP (APAP), may be utilized based on individual needs, according to NHLBI (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute)
Words of the visionary
Work for the prosperity of society, provide services to people and look after your patients. If these are done perfectly, you will get profits over your investments as an automatically generated by-product. By misbehaving with customers, by cheating them and by resorting to unscrupulous means, you can earn some profit but the business would be short-lived.
