At Parkway Sleep Health Centers, we are committed to providing exceptional medical care to our patients. Our team of sleep specialists, led by a board-certified doctor, is dedicated to helping each patient find the best solution for their sleep-related concerns. We offer comprehensive consultations where patients can discuss their health queries and undergo complete diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of their sleep issues.

To make healthcare more accessible, Parkway also offers convenient telehealth appointments, ensuring that patients can efficiently manage their time.

A sleep study, also referred to as a sleep test, is a non-invasive examination that allows doctors to monitor a patient’s brain activity while they sleep. This examination is necessary to identify specific sleep disorders and diseases that require appropriate treatment. During the test, sensors are placed on the patient’s head, chest, face, limbs, and one finger, along with elastic belts around their chest and stomach to ensure their comfort during the analysis.

After the analysis, a customized therapeutic action plan is created, which may include CPAP therapy. Sleep studies can be beneficial for patients seeking to identify their sleep issues or underlying health conditions. They can also determine whether current treatments have improved their health conditions or not. Overall, sleep tests play a crucial role in diagnosing and treating sleep-related disorders and helping patients achieve better sleep and improved overall health.

It is not uncommon for parents to experience sleepless nights due to their children’s reluctance to go to bed. However, in some cases, undiagnosed sleep disorders may be the underlying cause of their children’s sleeplessness. To diagnose sleep disorders in children, Parkway Sleep Health Centers uses sensors and belts on their heads near their mouth, fingertips, nose, chest, and legs. The process is entirely comfortable for the child.

By monitoring a child’s sleep and breathing patterns, the device can detect any sleep issues that may seem harmless but could lead to significant health problems that may persist into adulthood. Therefore, if you suspect that your child may have a sleep-related issue, Parkway Sleep Health Centers offers comprehensive tests for children to diagnose and address any sleep-related health issues they may have.

CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) is the most frequently prescribed therapy for sleep-related breathing issues. During sleep, a CPAP mask, such as a nasal mask, full face mask, or pillow mask, is worn to direct positive airflow to the nasal passage or throat and maintain an open airway. Research has demonstrated that CPAP can significantly increase daytime alertness, particularly for those with mild to severe sleep disorders such as apnea.

However, other sleep devices, such as BiPAP, ASV, and APAP, may better suit an individual’s specific needs. These devices come with different masks and attachments customized to an individual’s requirements, such as nasal masks and pillows or full masks, and moveable tubing for improved comfort.

At Parkway Sleep Health, our physician will provide daily instructions for using and caring for the CPAP machine and its features. It is important to adhere strictly to the treatment plan tailored to your diagnosis.
