Sleep Diagnostics Solutions for Every Need.
Daytime sleepiness, a decline in performance and cardiovascular diseases can all result from disordered sleep. People who have trouble falling asleep or sleeping
through the night are advised to consult their doctor. Potential causes of the problem can be ruled out with a review of the patient‘s medical history and examinations such as ECG, lung function tests and a chest x-ray. If Sleep-Disordered Breathing (SDB) is suspected, a nighttime examination with a mobile recording device (polygraphy) can take place in the patient‘s home. This examination might yield the most frequent SDB diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea.
When a patient is referred to a sleep lab, another overnight test (polysomnography) is made to support the mobile diagnosis and to find the right therapy settings.
Respiratory events such as apnea (cessation of breathing) are recorded, sleep quality is determined by an EEG, and other parameters such as oxygen saturation of blood and leg movements are measured for subsequent analysis and interpretation.
Löwenstein accompanies the entire process with the right devices for which it offers the necessary accessories and consumables.
