Most sleep disorders and sleep-wake irregularity can be treated or managed once underlying causes are accurately diagnosed through sleep study. St. Bernards Sleep Disorders Center offers sleep study expertise and is an Accredited Facility Member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

For our patients, we take an individualized approach and use different methods to help correct sleep disorders. In some situations, treatment is necessary, while others require a change in daily habits, work habits or work hours.

When sleep apnea is diagnosed, weight loss and/or assistance using Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure (BPAP) equipment may be necessary to diminish serious associated health risks.

Sleep Disorders Evaluation Procedures

The Sleep Disorders Center evaluates and continuously monitors sleep patterns using: 

  • Electroencephalogram (EEG)
  • Electromyogram (EMG)
  • Electrooculogram (EOG)
  • Oxygen Saturation

Cardiac activity, respirations by chest and abdominal excursion, body and leg movements, and nasal and mouth air flow are also monitored throughout sleep studies.

Continuing Care

Referring physicians receive a full account of their patient’s sleep study diagnosis and the recommended plan of sleep disorder treatment or management. In most instances, the referring physician will oversee any necessary long-term management of the patient. However, in some cases, the Sleep Disorders Center will manage patients in consultation with the referring physician.
