Cardiorespiratory sleep studies (WatchPAT)
The WatchPAT test is a convenient and accurate way to diagnose sleep apnoea from the comfort of your own home. Unlike traditional sleep studies in a lab, the WatchPAT uses a simplified design, focusing on signals from your finger and wrist. This data allows a sleep specialist to analyse your sleep patterns and diagnose sleep apnoea. WatchPAT tests have been clinically proven to be highly accurate, making them a comfortable and reliable alternative to in-lab sleep studies.
Full Polysomnography testing (Nox A1s)
Therapy - CPAP/BiPAP
A full video polysomnography (PSG) is a type of sleep study that combines the standard measurements of a polysomnography with a video recording of the patient throughout the night. Here's a breakdown:
What is a polysomnography (PSG)?
A comprehensive sleep study that records various body functions during sleep, including:
Brain activity (EEG)
Eye movements (EOG)
Heart rate (ECG)
Breathing patterns (airflow, effort, oxygen levels)
Muscle activity (EMG)
Body position
Leg movements
What does the video add?
Provides visual context: The video recording helps specialists understand how movements and behaviours during sleep correlate with the data gathered from the sensors.
Detects specific sleep disorders: Video is essential for diagnosing:
Parasomnias: Sleepwalking, sleep talking, night terrors, REM behaviour disorder
Seizures during sleep
Unusual or complex sleep behaviours
When is it used?
When a standard PSG doesn't provide enough information to make a diagnosis.
When doctors suspect a sleep disorder linked to movement or unusual behaviours.
To differentiate between sleep disorders with similar symptoms.
The Bottom Line
A full video polysomnography offers a more complete picture of a person's sleep patterns. The video can be crucial in diagnosing sleep disorders or behaviours that wouldn't be visible through standard PSG recordings alone.
