we offer comprehensive evaluation and testing, put together a treatment plan, educate our patients and follow up with them
Some of these tests require our patient to spend the night in our sleep lab where brain wave activity, heart rate, electrical activity of the heart, breathing and oxygen in the blood are measured.
For the convenience of our patients, these studies are performed in three locations: Crowley, Fort Worth, and Eastchase
TEST RESULTS AND TREATMENT PLAN
All sleep studies are reviewed and interpreted by Dr. Nagwa Lamaie, Board Certified in Sleep Medicine. She will then recommend treatment options to fit the individual patient’s needs along with hands of guidance on use.
FOLLOW UP ON SLEEP TREATMENT PLAN
Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to ensure optimal treatment benefits and to update treatment plans if necessary.
POLYSOMNOGRAM (PSG)
PSG) (click on the word to get the information below)
This detailed diagnostic test monitors the patient in the lab. The data collected allows the physician to determine any specific sleep disorders.
HOME SLEEP APNEA TEST (HSAT )
This therapeutic study focuses on treatment. The technician monitors the sleeping patient while gradually increasing the level of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure; thus, eliminating any apneic events by forming an air splint in the airway, alleviating pressure.
SPLIT NIGHT STUDY
A Polysomnogram and CPAP Titration combined into one exam. If the patient has several apneic events, CPAP will be used to eliminate the apneas.
MULTIPLE SLEEP LATENCY TEST
This test involves a series of naps following an overnight Narcolepsy Diagnostic Test. Upon awakening, the patient is instructed every two hours to lie down and rest. If the patient falls asleep, they are monitored from that time for 15 minutes. This series will be repeated four to five times, depending on the findings.
