Outpatient Services: Sleep Lab
Living with a sleep disorder can interfere with your performance at home, school or work and can even affect your relationships with family and friends. In most cases, sleep disorders can be easily managed once they are properly diagnosed.
What does a sleep study involve? Once your physician determines you need a sleep study, you will be scheduled to stay overnight at Paulding County Hospital's sleep lab. You will have your own home like bedroom which includes a full size bed, a television, even a fan. During your study your breathing, brainwaves, muscle activity and heart rhythms will be monitored and recorded. After your study, an appointment is made with Dr. Gray and he will review the results of the study and recommend treatment.
One common treatment is a prescription for a CPAP machine which delivers positive pressurized room air through a nasal mask to keep the airway open and prevent it from collapsing during sleep. PCH's respiratory department can offer supplies and fittings for most recommendations.
If you have questions or need additional information about PCH's Sleep Clinic, please call 419-399-1133.
