DURHAM NC SLEEP SPECIALISTS with CPAP TESTING

We are pleased to offer exceptional treatment at Parkway Sleep Health Centers. Our board-certified doctor and team of skilled sleep specialists are available to assist patients with finding the best treatment for various sleep problems. Patients will have an in-depth appointment with a physician who can answer any sleep health concerns our patients might be asking and take any necessary diagnostic tests. Based on the outcomes of the diagnostic tests and the diagnosis, we could fit you with a specific device to help improve your sleep. These devices can be CPAP, BiPAP, ASV, or APAP machines. Our physician will discuss the procedure and what you should expect, as well as the best way to use your device to achieve the best results. Parkway is also excited to provide our patients with the option of telehealth appointments to make their life easier!

What’s a sleep study, and why is it needed? It’s a non-invasive sleep examination that allows our doctors to observe the brain’s activity. The analysis assists us in identifying specific sleep disorders and conditions that require treatment. In the course of our investigation, we apply sensors on your scalp, face and chest, limbs, and one of your fingers, with elastic belts positioned along the abdomen and chest.

In accordance with this diagnostic procedure and the assessment, we create a customized therapeutic action plan which could comprise CPAP therapy. Sleep studies are helpful for patients who need to determine their sleep issues or conditions. A sleep study can be beneficial for patients looking to verify whether their current treatment program has worked or has improved their health.

The majority of parents have had insomnia-ridden nights due to their children screaming at night because they don’t want to go to bed. In some cases, there are instances of children who cannot get enough sleep due to sleep disorders that are not diagnosed. When conducting a sleep study for children, we will connect the sensors and belts to the head of the child, close to the mouth, nose, fingers, stomach, chest, and legs. It’s totally painless!

This machine monitors your child’s breathing as well as the patterns of sleep. Although sleep disorders might sound harmless, a lack of sleep could cause health problems that can persist into adulthood. If you think your child might have some sort of sleep disorder, think about Parkway Sleep Health Centers for an examination of sleep. We offer the best care to all our patients and concentrate on making sure the kids are as relaxed as they can to identify and treat your child’s condition.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the most well-known method for treating sleep breathing disorders. People wear a nasal or airway mask while they sleep, directing positive airflow to the throat or nasal passage to ensure the airway remains open. Research has shown that CPAP enhances alertness during the day, especially for people suffering from mild to severe sleep apnea.

There’s a wide range of other machines than CPAP, like BiPAP, ASV, and APAP, which could be more suitable for your sleeping problems. They are also equipped with various masks and attachments designed to fit your lifestyle and requirements: nasal masks, pillows, complete masks, and movable tubing. These will allow you to customize your device and make it more efficient to use.

If you purchase CPAP apparatus from Parkway SleepHealth, the physician will explain the daily instructions on how to operate and care for your device and every function. The treatment plan you receive with your CPAP machine will depend on the diagnosis, so be sure you follow the instructions with care.
