Sleep Disorder Testing at BAPTIST HEALTH
Sleep Disorder Testing at BAPTIST HEALTH provides you and your health care team with vital information regarding your health. Neurological testing advancements provided by BAPTIST HEALTH include:
Sleep Disorders Testing (Polysomnography)
Polysomnography (PSG) is the simultaneous recording of multiple physiological parameters during sleep. This non-invasive procedure records brain waves, eye movements, breathing effort, breathing airflow, snoring sounds, limb movements, blood oxygen levels, heart rate, heart rhythm, and muscle tone.
Patients are usually scheduled to arrive at 8 pm and are asked to complete a few forms prior to having electrodes and other monitoring devices attached to the surface of their body. A sleep study is normally recorded overnight in the sleep center; buy may also be performed during the day for night-shift workers.
The finished recording consists of approximately 1000 pages of data that are reviewed on a computer by a Diplomate of the American Board of Sleep Medicine (a physician with special training in sleep disorders).
After the physician reviews the study, a diagnosis is made and home treatment may be ordered such as supplemental oxygen or positive airway pressure (CPAP or Bi-level PAP). The most frequent diagnoses based on polysomnography include sleep apnea and periodic limb movements in sleep. However there are 84 recognized sleep disorders according to the International Classification of Sleep Disorders.
