Treatment for Sleep Apnea

Diagnosing Sleep Apnea

In addition to symptoms, a sleep study is also conducted to confirm the diagnosis of sleep apnea. A sleep study can be conducted either in the home of the patient or in a lab facility, depending on the severity of the symptoms. With home sleep tests (HST), the patient will be given the proper equipment and gear along with detailed instructions on how to utilize the device. Nocturnal polysomnography is a sleep test that is performed in a lab facility where the patient will have sensors attached to certain body parts and monitored by a specialist throughout the night. Both sleep tests measure the patient’s heartbeat, brain activity, body movement, and breathing patterns.
