How It Works
Sleep apnea testing, also known as a sleep study or polysomnogram (PSG), is a non-invasive and painless evaluation that monitors your body’s functions during sleep. Here’s how the process typically works:
- Evaluation Setup: A registered sleep technician will set up the equipment and sensors on your body while you sleep. These sensors measure brain activity, heart rate, lung function, and muscle activity during sleep.
- Overnight Monitoring: While you sleep, data is recorded and transmitted to a computer, which stores and analyzes the information. This data helps identify sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
- Assessment by Specialists: Board-certified sleep physicians review the collected data to provide a detailed evaluation. If you are diagnosed with sleep apnea, your physician will recommend the appropriate treatment options.
- Customized Care: SMG specializes in post-diagnosis care and personalized continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for each patient. Our team will collaborate with you to ensure the therapy aligns with your unique needs and preferences.
- By undergoing sleep apnea testing, you take the first step toward improving your sleep quality, overall health, and quality of life. Don’t let sleep apnea go undiagnosed; reach out to SMG to learn more about better sleep.
