Cardiorespiratory Sleep Polygraphy
Cardiorespiratory sleep polygraphy is a test that detects sleep-related breathing disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea.
What the test is for
The patient wears a ring on their thumb overnight to record several breathing parameters during sleep. The data is used to assess the presence and severity of sleep apnea.
It is recommended for:
- Loud snoring
- Chronic fatigue or daytime sleepiness
- Frequent awakenings during the night
- Breathing pauses observed during sleep
- Morning headaches
- Hard-to-control high blood pressure
- Sleep disorders suspected by a doctor
How it works, simply put
The ring records several parameters while you sleep: breathing, oxygen levels and heart rate. The test is non-invasive and takes place in the comfort of your own home.
