Diagnosing sleep apnea typically involves a comprehensive process, often initiated by a healthcare provider. The primary diagnostic tool is a sleep study, also known as polysomnography, which monitors various physiological parameters during sleep.

 

This study is conducted either in a sleep lab or through home sleep testing, depending on the specific circumstances and the severity of symptoms. During the study, key indicators such as breathing patterns, oxygen levels, heart rate, and brain activity are monitored to assess the presence and severity of sleep apnea.

 

Additionally, patients may undergo a thorough clinical evaluation, including a review of medical history, symptom assessment, and physical examination. The collaborative insights gained from both clinical and sleep study findings enable healthcare professionals to accurately diagnose sleep apnea and determine an appropriate treatment plan tailored to individual needs. for more information please contact www.cpap.ae
