Multiple Sleep Latency Test - This test is used to determine how fast you fall asleep in the dark. The test consists of a series of 20 minute naps in 2 hour intervals throughout the day.
CPAP Test - Treatment for breathing disorders or sleep apnea may utilize a device that supplies Continuous Positive Airway Pressure or CPAP. A second sleep study is conducted, wearing the device, to obtain the optimal settings, masks and effectiveness of the procedure. The second sleep study is just like the first, except for the addition of the CPAP unit.
BiPAP Test - BiPAP is similar to CPAP but provides two levels of pressure - Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure and a lower Positive Airway Pressure for easier exhalation. A BiPAP test is conducted in the same manner as a CPAP test.
ASV - Adaptive servoventilation (ASV) - a device used to treat central and complex sleep apnea. This unit has the ability to adapt to individual breathing patterns, adjusting to what a patient needs based on his or her breathing and need for support during respiratory events.
Oxygen Therapy - Used to maintain safe oxygen levels during sleep. It is sometimes indicated for patients whose blood oxygen remains low following other treatments.
EEG - Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test for recording the electrical activity produced by the brain. The EEG procedure provides information about brain function, which can help to evaluate problems that are inhibiting quality sleep. During the procedure, which is painless, small electrodes are attached to the scalp with a water-soluble paste.
End Tidal CO2 Monitoring - a non-invasive test for measuring the volume of exhaled carbon dioxide that is formed during respiration. This test is helpful in assessing breathing issues during sleep.
