Types of Sleep Studies offered by Naab Road Surgical Center
Why are Sleep Studies Important?
Sleep disorders can significantly impact your overall health and quality of life. Recognizing the importance of diagnosing and treating sleep disorders, Naab Road Surgical Center offers a range of comprehensive sleep studies. These studies aim to analyze your sleep patterns, monitor various physiological parameters, and identify potential sleep disorders. By undergoing a sleep study, you can better understand your sleep health and receive personalized treatment options.
1. Polysomnography (PSG)
Polysomnography, commonly known as PSG, is a comprehensive sleep study that monitors and records numerous physiological functions while you sleep. This study includes monitoring brain activity, eye movement, heart rate, blood oxygen levels, respiratory effort, and muscle activity. PSG is often used in the diagnosis of various sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and restless leg syndrome. At Naab Road Surgical Center, our skilled sleep technicians ensure a comfortable and accurate PSG experience to analyze your sleep data effectively.
2. Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT)
The Multiple Sleep Latency Test is a specialized sleep study conducted to assess how quickly an individual falls asleep during daytime naps. MSLT is commonly utilized in the diagnosis of narcolepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden sleep attacks. By measuring the time taken to fall asleep during multiple nap opportunities, MSLT helps professionals evaluate your level of daytime sleepiness and determine the appropriate treatment plan.
3. Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT)
The Maintenance of Wakefulness Test, also known as MWT, evaluates an individual's ability to stay awake during the daytime, particularly in situations where alertness is crucial, such as while driving. This test is commonly recommended for individuals who work in safety-sensitive industries or those who need to monitor their vigilance levels due to certain medical conditions or medications. Through MWT, Naab Road Surgical Center helps assess your daytime wakefulness and provides insights into managing excessive sleepiness.
4. Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT)
Naab Road Surgical Center offers the convenience of Home Sleep Apnea Testing to patients suspected of having obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). HSAT enables individuals to monitor their sleep patterns and breathing in the comfort of their own homes. Our sleep specialists provide step-by-step instructions on how to use the portable monitoring device, ensuring accurate and reliable results. HSAT is a cost-effective and efficient alternative to in-lab sleep studies, particularly for patients who require remote monitoring or have difficulty sleeping in unfamiliar environments.
5. CPAP/BiPAP Titration
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) titration studies are conducted to determine the ideal pressure settings for individuals with sleep apnea who use PAP therapy. These studies involve adjusting the air pressure delivered by the CPAP or BiPAP machine throughout the night to achieve optimal results. Naab Road Surgical Center's experienced sleep technologists monitor your sleep state and make necessary adjustments, ensuring enhanced therapy efficacy.
6. Pediatric Sleep Studies
Recognizing the unique sleep needs of children, Naab Road Surgical Center offers pediatric sleep studies. These studies are designed to assess sleep disorders commonly found in children, such as pediatric sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and night terrors. Our specialists create a child-friendly environment to ensure comfort during overnight monitoring. By identifying and treating sleep disorders at an early age, we can help children achieve restful sleep and improve their overall development.
