Home Sleep Studies at Comprehensive
Our pulmonologists also treat patients suffering from sleep disorders with at-home sleep studies in the convenience of your own home. At-home sleep tests are an easy, cost-effective way to diagnose trouble breathing by wearing a simple monitor that tracks your breathing, oxygen levels, and breathing effort while worn during sleep. Your pulmonologist can prescribe the at-home sleep test for you as it is not offered over the counter.
There are a number of sleep disorders that can decrease a person’s quality of life and can cause problems if left untreated, including:
Sleep Apnea is a common sleep disorder caused by the soft tissue in the throat falling and blocking the airway. When this happens, our bodies naturally wake us up briefly to open the airway so we can breathe again. Sleep Apnea can cause complications down the road if not treated early. Treatment options range from machines that help with breathing to surgery. A board certified sleep medicine physician at Lung Center of Nevada will provide options to help determine which treatment is best for each individual patient.
