We believe in keeping our community healthy, and we’re committed to exceeding the expectations of our patients with cutting edge services. Let us provide you with the personalized care you deserve.
POLYSOMNOGRAPHY
A polysomnography (PSG) is a sleep study that is used to diagnose sleep disorders. A polysomnography records your brain waves, the oxygen level in your blood, heart rate and breathing, as well as eye and leg movements during the study. A polysomnography monitors your sleep stages and cycles to identify if or when your sleep patterns are disrupted and why.
CPAP TITRATION
A CPAP titration study is a type of in-lab sleep study used to calibrate continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. CPAP is a common treatment used to manage sleep-related breathing disorders including obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea and hypoventilation and hypoxemia.
MULTIPLE SLEEP LATENCY TEST
The Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) is a sleep disorder diagnostic tool. It is used to measure the time elapsed from the start of a daytime nap period to the first signs of sleep, called sleep latency. The test is based on the idea that the sleepier people are, the faster they will fall asleep. The MSLT is used extensively to test for disorders of excessive somnolence such as narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnolence, to distinguish between physical tiredness and true excessive daytime sleepiness, or to assess whether treatments for breathing disorders are working.
BIPAP TITRATION
BiPAP stands for Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure, and is very similar in function and design to a CPAP machine. A BiPAP machine is a non-invasive form of therapy for patients suffering from sleep apnea.  While using BiPap, you receive positive air pressure when you breathe in and when you breathe out. But you receive higher air pressure when you breathe in.
PAP NAP
A Positive Airway Pressure (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. The patient works one-on-one with a sleep technologist, using relaxation, deep breathing and desensitization techniques to try to become more comfortable with PAP therapy.
BIPAP AUTOSV
A BiPAP autoSV Advanced device senses a patient’s breathing effort by monitoring airflow in the circuit and adjusts its output to assist in ventilation. This therapy provides a higher pressure, referred to as IPAP (inspiratory positive airway pressure) during inhalation, and a lower pressure or EPAP (expiratory positive airway pressure) during exhalation
