What is Sleep Study?
A sleep study, also known as polysomnography, is a comprehensive diagnostic test used to evaluate and diagnose various sleep disorders. This non-invasive test monitors multiple physiological activities during sleep, providing detailed information about how a person sleeps and identifying disruptions in sleep patterns.
Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities

These capabilities ensure accurate diagnoses and enable personalized treatment plans tailored to individual patient needs. Here’s an overview of the advanced diagnostic capabilities available at Dr. Lal’s Hospital & Research Centre:
Enhanced Monitoring Systems(Comprehensive Data Collection): PSG at Dr. Lal’s Hospital & Research Centre includes detailed monitoring of brain waves (EEG), eye movements (EOG), muscle activity (EMG), heart rate (ECG), respiratory effort, airflow, oxygen saturation, and snoring.
Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT):(Portable Devices): Dr. Lal’s Hospital & Research Centre offers HSAT devices for patients to use in the comfort of their homes. These devices monitor key parameters such as respiratory patterns, oxygen levels, and heart rate.
- Telehealth Services: Integration with telehealth platforms facilitates virtual consultations, follow-ups, and continuous monitoring, enhancing patient convenience and access to specialist care.
- Precise Sleep Architecture: Enhanced algorithms provide detailed analysis of sleep architecture, including accurate identification of REM and non-REM stages and their respective sub-stages.
- Capnography: Continuous monitoring of CO2 levels provides insights into respiratory efficiency and the presence of sleep-related hypoventilation.
Precision Treatment Options
Dr. Lal’s Hospital & Research Centre offers a range of personalized treatment approaches tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Here are some precision treatment options available for conditions identified through sleep studies:
- Customized Pressure Settings: CPAP machines are calibrated based on individual sleep study data, ensuring optimal airway pressure to prevent airway collapse during sleep.
- Cardiac Catheterization: Used to diagnose and treat certain heart conditions by inserting a catheter into the heart through blood vessels.
- Variable Pressure Support: BiPAP machines deliver different levels of pressure during inhalation and exhalation, offering more comfortable breathing for patients with certain respiratory conditions or complex sleep apnea.
- Sleep Position Monitoring: Devices or wearable sensors are used to monitor sleep positions and provide feedback/alerts to help patients avoid sleeping in positions that exacerbate their sleep disorder, such as positional sleep apnea.
