Studies Conducted at the Sleep Center
The Center conducts tests using sophisticated diagnostic equipment to monitor brain, heart, respiratory, and muscle activity during sleep. The Center can perform testing on anyone aged 3 and older:
Polysomnography (PSG): Monitors a person’s sleep in order to identify sleep disorders and sleep-related breathing disorders.
Home Polysomnography (HSAT) testing is available and is a convenient way to undergo testing and confirm a diagnosis of sleep apnea. Patients must meet clinical criteria in order to utilize home testing. PSG testing at home utilizes a small portable testing unit worn overnight by the patient.
PSG with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Titration: For sleep-related breathing disorders. When a home-based CPAP machine is recommended, the patient will first receive this test at the Center to determine the clinically appropriate and most comfortable settings for the CPAP machine.
Split Night Study: During a PSG, the technical staff may identify conditions that warrant terminating the PSG and beginning a CPAP titration study that same night
Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT): Conducted during the daytime, the patient takes a series of naps while monitored by sleep testing equipment. This test measures a person’s ability to fully awaken from sleep and is used for people with excessive daytime sleepiness. It is frequently done with a PSG.
Measurement of Wakefulness Test (MWT): Measures a person’s ability to stay awake during conditions of limited sensory stimulation. This test is useful for those who must demonstrate the ability to stay awake to perform job duties safely, i.e. pilots, truck drivers, and heavy machine operators.
A Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) Nap: A PAP nap is a daytime study for patients who have anxiety about starting PAP therapy, are claustrophobic, or are having difficulty tolerating PAP therapy for their sleep-related breathing disorder.
Following your sleep study, our sleep medicine specialists will review your results and recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your diagnosis. Treatment options may include lifestyle modifications, CPAP therapy, medication, or other therapies when clinically appropriate.
