Types Of Sleep Apnea Tests

Sleep Apnea Lab Studies
Lab sleep tests often use nocturnal polysomnography testing equipment to measure heart and brain activity, breathing patterns, arm and leg movements, and blood oxygen levels are monitored during sleep.
Traditionally sleep studies in overnight sleep centres have been the only way to diagnose sleep apnea. These require referrals and can be long and inconvenient, delaying the time to get tested and receive results.

At Home Sleep Apnea Testing
Advanced medical equipment has revolutionized traditional methods of testing for sleep apnea allowing a person to take a test and sleep in the comfort of their own bed and in their normal sleep surroundings.
Measuring breathing patterns, sleep stages, heart rate activity, body position, snoring, oxygen levels, and detecting the different types of apnea is possible with a home sleep apnea test.
Sleep lab studies are facilitated by clinicians and assessed by sleep scientists. They require a referral and the process can take some time to get a result.
This can be a frustrating experience when you want to get results quickly.
Luckily home testing has come a long way and it's no longer necessary to conduct sleep apnea tests in a clinical setting.
