Sleep studies
W8MD offers various sleep studies to diagnose and treat sleep disorders. These sleep studies include:
- Home sleep study - This sleep study is conducted in the comfort of your own home using a portable device to diagnose sleep apnea.
- Polysomnography (PSG) - This sleep study is conducted overnight at a sleep center to diagnose and treat various sleep disorders, including sleep apnea, periodic limb movement disorder, and other parasomnias.
- Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) titration - This sleep study is used to determine the optimal air pressure level for CPAP therapy to treat sleep apnea.
- Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) - This sleep study is used to diagnose narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia. It measures how long it takes a person to fall asleep during the day.
- Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) - This sleep study is used to measure a person's ability to stay awake during the day and diagnose excessive daytime sleepiness.
Home sleep studies
In patients who are at high likelihood of having OSA, a randomized controlled trial found that home oximetry (a non-invasive method of monitoring blood oxygenation) may be adequate and easier to obtain than formal polysomnography. High probability patients were identified by an Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score of 10 or greater and a Sleep Apnea Clinical Score (SACS) of 15 or greater. Home oximetry, however, does not measure apneic events or respiratory event-related arousals and thus does not produce a true AHI value.
Fast home sleep studies
Unlike most sleep clinics with long wait times, W8MD offers the same week sleep consultations and fast and easy home sleep studies in about a week (provided there is no insurance delay)
