![]() UCHealth Poudre Valley Hospital is the first hospital in the Rocky Mountain region to implant the new Respicardia remedē® System, a breakthrough treatment that has been shown to improve sleep, breathing and quality of life in adult patients with moderate to severe central sleep apnea (CSA). The remedē® System is an implantable system that monitors and stabilizes the breathing pattern to restore sleep throughout the night Improving sleep for patients with central sleep apnea Please allow us a minimum of 24 hours to handle your request If you are a provider seeking a patient’s previous sleep study information done at Estes Park Medical Center, please call the Estes Park Medical Center Medical Records at 97.ĭurable Medical Equipment providers. If you are a durable medical equipment company looking for sleep study reports or raw data, please fax this form to 97. If you are a provider seeking a patient’s previous sleep study done at Poudre Valley Hospital or Medical Center of the Rockies, please call UCHealth Medical Records at 97. The MWT is used to assess the efficacy of the treatment of a sleep disorder. A study performed to determine whether a patient is able to remain awake in a sleep induced environment. The MSLT is most commonly used to diagnose narcolepsy. We look to see whether a patient falls asleep, how quickly, and to what stage of sleep the patient reaches. The MSLT is a series of 5 20-minute naps, two hours apart. This study determines a patient’s level of sleepiness after a night’s sleep. A study performed the day after full diagnostic or split night is performed. This study is used to detect the presence of nocturnal seizures in addition to other sleep disorders. An NPSG performed with a full EEG montage during recording. ETCO2 recording is considered the gold standard for pediatric polysomnography.Įxpanded EEG sleep recording. ![]() This is a useful addition to the airway recording to assist in the detection of obesity hypoventilation and hypercapnia, or CO2 retention. A modified NPSG utilizing end tidal CO2 monitoring. This study is performed if a patient is suspected of acting out his/her dreams at night. A modified NPSG with electrodes added to the arms (in addition to the legs) to determine the presence of movement during REM, a stage of sleep during which the muscles are immobile. This includes patients with emergent central apneas or Cheyne Stokes Breathing (CSB) on CPAP therapy. A titration study with Adaptive Servo Ventilation (ASV) is performed in patients with complex sleep apnea. Pressures are explored on the inhalation and an alternate pressure on exhalation.ĪSV (Adaptive servo ventilation) Titration. An alternate titration study used to treat patients who require higher pressures than CPAP allows or for those who are intolerant of CPAP. This study explores a variety of CPAP pressures to determine which is the most effective in eliminating apneic events and snoring.īiPAP (Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure) Titration. A titration study used to treat obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The patient still may need to return for a full night of CPAP if required.ĬPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) Titration. If a patient is not “split” to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) then the study is run as a NPSG. This study allows us to treat patients with severe OSAS immediately. Baseline and CPAP trial for patients 18+. Please contact Children’s Hospital Colorado in metro Denver. UCHealth does not currently perform sleep studies on patients younger than 7 years. These parameters are standard on every overnight sleep study both diagnostic and therapeutic. The study includes various physiological measurements such as respiratory effort and airflow, EEG (brain waves), EKG (Heart), EMG (muscle movement), oxygen saturations, and snoring. ![]() ![]() Baseline study used to assess sleep disorders. Nocturnal polysomnogram (NPSG) (Baseline study for ages 6+).
