Our advanced polysomnography system is made possible by the latest technology, the Sandman Elite SD32 Polysomnography System, which revolutionizes diagnosis of whether or not a person suffers from sleep apnea or another form of sleep disorder. In this non-invasive procedure, wires or probes are painlessly attached on the patient’s body, displaying waves in the monitor to observe the patient’s brainwaves (EEG), muscle tension (EMG), respiration, electrical conduction of the heart (including heart rate and rhythm or ECG), oxygen level in the blood, and sound of snoring.

Once diagnosed, the most common treatment is the use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), where a preset amount of pressure is mechanically delivered via a nasal or oro-nasal mask to maintain an open airway during sleep. Other medical and conservative treatments may include mandibular appliance device, snoring vest or mattress for positional snorers or those with mild positional obstructive sleep apnea, and surgical intervention such as minimally invasive surgery of soft palate radiofrequency.
