    SLEEP LAB

    Polysomnography is used to diagnose or rule out many types of sleep disorders including narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, REM behaviour disorder, parasomnias, and sleep apnoea. It is a diagnostic test during which a number of physiologic variables are measured and recorded during sleep. Physiologic sensor leads are placed on the patient in order to record:
    • Brain electrical activity: EEG for sleep architecture
    • Eye and jaw muscle movement: EOG and EMG
    • Leg muscle movement: Leg EMG
    • Airflow: Detection of Apnoea
    • Respiratory effort: Differentiation between obstructive and central apnoea
    • EKG: Cardiac activity
    • Oxygen saturation: Oxygen desaturation during apnoea

    Information gathered from all leads is fed into a computer and outputted as a series of waveform tracings which enable the physician to visualize the various waveforms, assign a score for the test, and assist in the diagnostic process.
