Sleep Center
Breathing disorders during sleep can be serious and lead to impaired rest, many daytime problems as well as some health care problems. That's why Reid Health provides you with a state-of-the-art Sleep Disorders Center for diagnosis and treatment, located at 1350 Chester Blvd.
When sleep apnea or obstructive sleep apnea is suspected, we will monitor your sleep breathing patterns in our sleep laboratory. To do this, we will ask you to sleep overnight in one of our designated sleep rooms where we will attach various sensors to your skin. These sensors monitor your brain electrical activity, nose and mouth airflow, breathing patterns, heart rhythms, oxygen level and muscle activity.
While you're sleeping, a trained technologist monitors these measurements along with your sleep habits. After the all-night sleep study (or polysomnogram) is complete, your information will be transferred to a specialty sleep physician for evaluation.
Inspire Sleep Therapy
Reid ENT, in partnership with Reid Sleep Disorder Center and Reid Pulmonology, is now offering
Inspire therapy, a breakthrough obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment option for
those who cannot use Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy.
OSA affects 22 million Americans. When left untreated, OSA can cause vehicle and
workplace accidents, worsening mood and memory, stroke, heart attack, and even
death. It occurs when the airway collapses during sleep and blocks the flow of oxygen to
the brain. The brain senses a lack of oxygen and wakes the body up just long enough to
take a breath, then falls back asleep. This cycle repeats throughout the night and causes
poor, disruptive sleep.
Inspire works inside the body with a patient's natural breathing process to treat sleep
apnea. Mild stimulation opens the airway during sleep, allowing oxygen to flow
naturally. The patient uses a small handheld remote to turn Inspire on before bed and
off when they wake up.
