OUR THERAPISTS ALSO PROVIDE EDUCATION TO INFORM PATIENTS HOW TO USE BREATHING APPARATUS AND OTHER TOOLS TO HELP IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE. SLEEP LABA GOOD NIGHT'S REST CAN BE HARD TO ACHIEVE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE APPROXIMATELY 20 MILLION AMERICANS WHO SUFFER FROM SLEEP APNEA. SLEEP APNEA IS CHARACTERIZED BY BRIEF INTERRUPTION OF BREATHING DURING SLEEP. THE DISORDER IS A SERIOUS, POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING CONDITION. FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO THINK THEY MIGHT HAVE SLEEP APNEA, THE MADISON HEALTH SLEEP LAB, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MOUNT CARMEL SLEEP MEDICINE, IS HERE TO HELP. THE HOSPITAL SLEEP LAB TESTS FOR TWO TYPES OF SLEEP APNEA: CENTRAL APNEA, WHICH OCCURS IN ROUGHLY 20 PERCENT OF APNEA PATIENTS, AND OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA, THE MORE COMMON OF THE TWO CONDITIONS. THE ONLY WAY TO DIAGNOSE SLEEP APNEA IS THROUGH A SPECIALIZED TEST KNOWN AS A POLYSOMNOGRAPHY OR SLEEP STUDY. THE TESTING PROCESS IS SIMPLE. ANYONE WHO SUSPECTS THEY HAVE SLEEP APNEA, OR HAS A BED PARTNER WHO HAS NOTICED SNORING AND BREATHING IRREGULARITIES, IS ASKED TO CONSULT THEIR PHYSICIAN. THE DOCTOR THEN REFERS THE PATIENT TO THE HOSPITAL FOR A SLEEP STUDY. ONCE THE REFERRAL IS MADE, A MEMBER OF THE SLEEP CENTER STAFF CONTACTS THE PATIENT BY PHONE TO CONDUCT A PRE-SLEEP STUDY QUESTIONNAIRE. THE STAFF MEMBER EXPLAINS WHAT TO EXPECT OF THE TEST, WHAT TO WEAR, AND ASKS IF THE PATIENT HAS SPECIAL REQUESTS. FOR INSTANCE, SOME INDIVIDUALS MAY WANT TO BRING THEIR PILLOW FROM HOME OR HAVE A RADIO OR FAN RUNNING WHILE THEY SLEEP. THE CENTER DOES ITS BEST TO SIMULATE THE PATIENT'S NORMAL SLEEPING ENVIRONMENT. THE TEST REQUIRES JUST ONE NIGHT OF SLEEP FROM THE PATIENT, COMPRISED OF SIX TO EIGHT HOURS. A TECHNICIAN MONITORS THE INDIVIDUAL FROM THE ROOM NEXT DOOR. IN THE MORNING, THE PATIENT IS RELEASED AND THE DATA COLLECTED THE NIGHT BEFORE IS INTERPRETED BY A PULMONOLOGIST OR NEUROLOGIST. THE RESULTS ARE SENT TO THE PATIENT'S PHYSICIAN, WHO THEN EXPLAINS TREATMENT OPTIONS SHOULD THE DIAGNOSIS BE CONFIRMED. FOR PATIENTS WITH CENTRAL APNEA, MEDICATION IS THE MOST OFTEN PRESCRIBED TREATMENT. FOR THOSE WITH OBSTRUCTIVE APNEA, MORE OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE. WEIGHT LOSS COULD REDUCE THE FREQUENCY AND/OR INTENSITY OF THE EPISODES. ALSO, SURGERY CAN REMOVE SOFT TISSUE AT THE BACK OF THE THROAT THAT RESTRICTS NIGHT-TIME BREATHING. THE MOST COMMON METHOD OF TREATMENT IS A CONTINUOUS POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE (CPAP) DEVICE. THE DEVICE IS THE SIZE OF A SMALL RADIO AND SITS ON THE BEDSIDE TABLE. THE PATIENT WEARS A MASK OVER THE NOSE CONNECTED TO THE CPAP BY A HOSE. THE MACHINE FORCES AIR INTO THE PATIENT TO KEEP THE THROAT'S SOFT TISSUE OPEN. THOUGH IT SOUNDS UNCOMFORTABLE, MOST PATIENTS ADAPT QUICKLY AND PREFER THE GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP OVER ANY INCONVENIENCE THE CPAP MIGHT CAUSE.
