HOME SLEEP TESTING
Do you suffer from daytime sleepiness, snoring or other symptoms? It may be helpful to take a home sleep test for OSA. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is caused by obstruction of the upper airway during sleep, interrupting airflow and reducing blood oxygen levels. Common signs include loud snoring, gasping or choking during sleep. Sufferers stop breathing for 10 seconds or longer, up to hundreds of times per night, often reducing blood oxygen to dangerously low levels.
- More than 43 million Americans suffer from obstructive sleep apnea.
- Over 85% of people with OSA don’t know it – yet this syndrome can be deadly
- OSA can occur in anyone, though it is more common in men.
- Patients with OSA are at an increased risk of other chronic diseases and accidents: 2x risk of stroke, 4x risk of mortality within four years, 5x risk of cardiovascular event, 7x risk of a motor vehicle accident (30% of accidents involving commercial truck drivers are sleep related)
- OSA frequently coexists with obesity, depression, diabetes, stroke and hypertension and can cause or aggravate these conditions
- Home Sleep Testing is easier and more cost effective than Sleep Center Testing for many patients.
- Home Sleep Testing eliminates waiting periods and improves test completion rates
- The natural at-home sleep environment facilitates good quality sleep, improving test quality
- Home Sleep Testing is affordable, typically producing a 75% savings versus overnight in-facility testing
