Sleep Study (Polysomnogram)

Picture
A sleep study or polysomnogram (PSG) is a test that electronically transmits and records specific physical activities while you sleep. The recordings become data that are analyzed by a qualified sleep specialist to determine if you have a sleep disorder.
There are four kinds of sleep studies, including:
•    Diagnostic overnight PSG: General monitoring of sleep and a variety of body functions during sleep, including breathing patterns, oxygen levels in the blood, heart rhythms, and limb movements
•    Diagnostic daytime multiple sleep latency test (MSLT): The MSLT is used to diagnose narcolepsy and to measure the degree of daytime sleepiness. It measures how quickly you fall asleep in quiet situations during the day. It also monitors how quickly and how often you enter REM sleep. To ensure accurate results, it is performed on the morning following a diagnostic overnight PSG.
•    Two-night evaluation PSG and CPAP titration: CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) is a sleep apnea treatment that involves the delivery of air into the airways through a specially designed nasal mask. On the first night of the two-night protocol, general monitoring and diagnostic evaluation is conducted. If sleep apnea is discovered, the patient returns for a second night to determine the necessary CPAP pressure required to alleviate apnea.
•    Split-night PSG with CPAP titration: Split-night PSG is conducted when moderate or severe sleep apnea has been discovered or strongly suspected during the first part of the night's study. The second half of the night is used to determine the necessary CPAP pressure required to alleviate apnea.

The Electroencephalograph (EEG)

The Electroencephalograph (EEG) is a recording of the on-going electrical activity of the brain. An EEG can assist in the diagnosis of a variety of neurological problems-from common headaches to dizziness to seizure disorders, strokes and degenerative brain disease. The EEG is also used to determine organic causes of psychiatric symptoms and disabilities in children and can assist physicians in determining irreversible brain death.  
Ambulatory EEG (AEEG)
Ambulatory EEG (AEEG) is a prolonged EEG which can record the clinical events and the EEG recording to aid in the diagnosis of seizures and other neurological disorders. Studies can range anywhere from 24 to 72 hours.  
First and Only Disposable HSAT

•  Immediate access to sleep data for interpretation
•  Data interpretation anytime, anywhere with Cloud based solution
​•  NO Return Shipment, NO Cleaning, Downloading or       Charging, NO Infection Risk.
​​WatchPAT ONE measures 7 channels (PAT signal, heart rate, oximetry, actigraphy, body position, snoring and chest motion) via three points of contact. It's 3 points of contact delivers 98% study success rate without compromising diagnostic capability.

​A simple smartphone app transmits the study data to the cloud. As soon as the study is completed, the clinician can review the automated study results.

The Nerve Conduction Study (NCV)

Picture
The Nerve Conduction Study (NCV) evaluate electrical potentials from peripheral nerves. Technologists stimulate the nerve with an electrical current and then records how long it takes the nerve impulse to reach the muscle.  

The Evoked Potential (EP)

Evoked Potential (EP) is a recording of electrical activity from the brain, spinal nerves, or sensory receptors that occurs in direct response to external stimuli.
Picture










The EP waveforms require sophisticated computer equipment to extract data that will allow physicians to determine the functional state of these pathways.
This test is commonly performed by the technologist during surgery on the spine to help the surgeon make sure the nerves are not damaged during the operation. Evoked Potentials are also performed in a clinical END laboratory, using either earphones to stimulate the hearing pathway, or a checkerboard pattern on a video monitor  to stimulate the visual pathway, or a small electrical current to stimulate a nerve in the arm or leg.

Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM)

Picture
Intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM) is a technique that is directly aimed at reducing the risk of neurological deficits after operations that involve the nervous system. IONM is a technique that has evolved during the last two decades; it makes use of recordings of electrical potentials from the nervous system during surgical operations. The use of IONM offers a possibility to detect injuries before they become so severe they cause deficits after the operation. Introduction of IONM has reduced the risk of debilitating deficits such as muscle weakness, paralysis, hearing loss, and other loss of normal body functions. IONM is normally performed by technologists supervised by a physiologist, or a neurologist. Technologists are not permitted to make interpretations of recorded potentials and give information to the surgeon; the supervising physiologist does that. It is necessary to have certification to do IONM. Similar techniques as used in IONM are now used in a few kinds of operations for guiding the surgeon in an operation to help obtain the best results.
