What can they test for in an lab sleep study?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sleep studies: The study evaluates the rate and rhythm of the heart continuously along with the level of blood oxygenation during the study. During disturbed, ineffective, or complete lack of breathing (and oxygenation) may occur. So a score is tabulated to indicate severity of the airway problems and lack of oxygen as well as the amount and time of them. An eeg can be used to capture brain electrical problems.
