What is Sleep Study?
The sleep study consists of a non-invasive test called a polysomnogram. This records a variety of body functions during sleep such as electrical activity of the brain, sleep pattern, breathing, oxygen levels, heart rate and rhythm, and muscle tone. The sleep technologist will connect the patient to the monitoring equipment via a series of stick-on electrode patches. The wires are long enough so that you can sleep in any position you wish. Once the study is complete, the test data is reviewed and "scored" by a specialist and relevant recommendations are made.
LEVELS OF SLEEP STUDY
Complete Study--
(Clinic) In this, the patient is asked to come to the clinic in night's comfortable clothing at 9:30 pm on the day of the test - a sleep technologist will place sensors on patient's scalp, face, chest and legs. These sensors will record brainwave activity (to assess sleep stage), eye movements, muscle activity, heart rhythm, body movements, nasal/oral airflow, respiratory effort and oxygenation. The test is an overnight test, will continue till the usual wake-up time of the patient.
(Home-based) It's the same study like clinic- based, the only difference is it is performed at patient's home and the technician will stay overnight at patient's home till the completion of the test.
CPAP Titration-will be performed during the above if required on the same night.
Screening-(without technician)
In this the Technician will go to the patients home and fix the machine, will teach the patient how to use the equipment but NOT spend the night. The equipment shall be picked up the next morning or dropped by patient(after discussion). This will record more than 4 channels i.e. snoring, breathing effort, oxygen saturation and ECG.
How can I get a sleep study done?

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure(C.P.A.P.)
Treatment for sleep apnoea (stopping breathing during sleep) involves the use of a nasal CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine.
The set-up for the CPAP trial involves all the same leads as the diagnostic study. The technicians will increase the pressure of the machine until the person stops snoring and they are breathing without obstruction. Airway splinted open air flows freely to lungs. Know More
