Sleep apnea is a sleep breathing disorder that affects an estimated 54 million Americans(calculated based on a 16-country prevalence data study), 1 and is associated with heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and other life-threatening conditions.
But in cases where other treatments have been tried but prove to be ineffective, or if the doctor suspects the possibility of sleep apnea or another undiagnosed condition, that is generally the appropriate situation to proceed with an overnight sleep study in a sleep lab.
The sleep disorder clinic(one section of the Sleep Medical Center) provides specialized diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea syndrome(SAS), narcolepsy, and other sleep disorders, as well as short-term hospitalization for assessments.*The dementia clinic and the schizophrenia clinic accept referrals from other medical care facilities and nursing-care facilities in the community to carry out assessments on the patients.
Sleep apnea is serious business and the better and more comfortable the people who make the sleep apnea masks can make them then the better off the people who have sleep apnea can and will be, both with compliance in using the masks and headgear and the treatment of their condition itself.
The technology, called PAT- Peripheral Arterial Tone- gauges arterial function and the speed and health of blood flow, and the device, called the WatchPAT, sets off an alarm when blood flow increases to a level that indicates that the heart is overworking as an individual sleeps, indicating the presence and degree of sleep apnea based on algorithms developed by the company.
