Diagnostic Services: Sleep Laboratory for Physicians and Other Professionals

West Park's Sleep Laboratory is staffed by a qualified team of health care professionals. Tests vary from simple screening to complete respiratory polysomnographic studies that will assist in the assessment and management of sleep disorders.

Our services are easily accessible within a reasonable waiting period. Appointments may be accelerated if the medical need is urgent.

How are sleep disorders diagnosed?

While patients sleep in one of four bedrooms at the Sleep Lab, technologists supervise the recording of several biological functions using state-of-the-art equipment. We report on the quality and distribution of sleep, heart rate, cardiac arrhythmias, breathing patterns, restless limb movements and gas exchange (O2, CO2). The results are analyzed by our sleep technologists and interpreted by our respirologist.
