Sleep SA offer the luxury of choice - patients are able to select the time and place of their sleep study to fit in with their schedule and lifestyle, all without waiting lists. Our services are very convenient for doctors - a referring practitioner can order a comprehensive sleep study with short notice (this is particularly important for patients suspected of having severe sleep disorders or who experience dangerous daytime sleepiness), and we also provide a report and clinical recommendations within 7-10 days of the sleep study.
Overall, our streamlined services ensure comfort and peace of mind for the patient, while providing much-needed data in a timely and professional manner to help doctors to evaluate and treat sleep disorders.
If desired, sleep reports can be emailed to you as an Adobe Acrobat attachment. Each report is securely password protected to ensure confidentiality. If you would like this service, simply contact SleepSA on (08) 8366 3805 and provide us with your email address and a password.
Our Sleep Studies
Our Sleep Studies can be used to diagnose a range of sleep disorders, including snoring, Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, Periodic Leg Movement Disorder, and Insomnia. We use state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, which monitors the following parameters during a Sleep Study:
- EEG - Brain-Wave Pattern
- EOG - Eye Movement
- ECG - Cardiac Function
- Nasal Airflow & Snoring
- Respiratory Effort
- Oxygen Saturation - measured through Pulse Oximetry
- Limb Movements
- Body Position
- CPAP pressure (for CPAP studies)
Once a patient's results are analysed by our highly qualified and experienced sleep scientists, a fully staged and scored report is provided to the referring physician, together with a clinical diagnosis and recommendation. One of our in-house Respiratory and Sleep Physicians reports each test and makes appropriate recommendations as to treatment. As part of our full-service approach, we also offer treatment for diagnosed sleep disorders (supervised by our Sleep Physicians) and offer subsequent Sleep Studies to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment.
All Bookings are taken via our Reception on (08) 8366 3864. We can contact your patients as soon as we receive a fax or mailed copy of the Referral Request Form. Referral pads can be sent to your clinic or we can email you an electronic version of this form.
