The Standard of All Sleep Apnea Testing
Polysomnography
What is a Standard Polysomnography?
A polysomnography is a test that can determine what problems are present during sleep.
Brainwaves, eye movement, a spirogram, respiratory capacity, electrocardiograms, SpO2,
and leg movement are all shown on one screen to monitor all physical activity
while sleeping. Since it is an examination done while sleeping,
testing is available at all times to fit all sleep schedules.
Types of Analyses Done by Certified Sleep Polysomnography
The polysomnography includes many different types of equipment,
and through a detailed analysis, we are able to diagnose the diseases while the patient is asleep.
When getting the diagnosis, there are many sensors attached to the body so it may seem awkward at first,
but we pride ourselves in providing state of the art facilities for a comfortable diagnosis.
-
Analysis of Sleeping
Method -
Analyze Brainwaves (EEG) and Eye Movement (EOG)
The changes between NREM (Non Rapid Eye Movement) 1st degree, 2nd degree,
3rd degree, 4th degree and REM (Rapid Eye Movement)
during sleep is analyzed
-
Analysis of Breathing
While Asleep -
Respiratory Air Flow Sensor (temperature/pressure sensor),
Thorax/Abdomen Movement Belt, Etc.- Check if there’s light-breathing/no-breathing while asleep
- Analyze the duration and the number of times repeated in order to see
the smoothness in breathing
-
Analysis of Movement
While Asleep -
Analyze muscle condition (EMG), sleeping position sensor, etc
Electromyogram of both arms and legs and sleeping position sensors help
review the vibrations of the muscles while asleep
-
Cardiovascular
Analysis -
Measure the heart rhythm (ECG) and Oxygen
concentration sensor, etc.Record oxygen concentration, heart rate, electrocardiogram (ECG)
while patient is asleep
-
Overall Condition
Analysis -
Video recorded
- While the patient is asleep, the sleeping process will be recorded
- Assess overall sleeping condition
