Sleep Studies

Life Care Sleep and Health Center performs sleep studies in a beautiful home setting located at Eaton Rapids Medical Center. The program allows for the following tests:

• Nocturnal Polysomnography
• CPAP Titrations
• Multiple Sleep Latency Testing
• ETCO2 monitoring
• SA02 Titration

Technicians specifically trained in sleep disorders perform these tests and all are certified in basic cardiac life support.

The patient arrives at approximately 9:00 p.m. and spends the evening in the hospital. Small gold electrodes are applied to the head, face and legs to monitor breathing, oxygen level, brain wave patterns and heart rate and rhythm. The patient is released at around 7:00 a.m. These tests are painless and can lead to the correction of snoring, apneas during sleep and can reduce the risk of high blood pressure and cardiac problems. Patients who normally sleep during the day can also be easily accommodated by our Sleep Center staff.

Your family physician will order a sleep study if appropriate and will inform Eaton Raids Medical Center. Our Specialty Clinics staff will contact you to arrange a convenient time.
