Complex Continuing Care
Ambulatory Care & Outpatient Services
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.
