Patient Information
Registration
You can register for an examination at our sleep laboratory by email or fax at any of our locations. A previous outpatient sleep polygraphy is required. This can be performed by your ENT specialist, pulmonologist or another appropriately equipped physician.
Your Stay at the Sleep Laboratory
A sleep laboratory examination is usually outpatient: you spend the night with us and leave the next morning.
Initial Consultation
Once you have submitted your documents, including the previous polygraphy, you will usually be invited to an initial medical consultation. We discuss your symptoms, existing findings and the appropriate diagnostic approach before arranging the overnight study dates.
Overnight Sleep Study
Depending on the location, arrival is generally between 7:00 and 9:00 p.m. Our staff will welcome you and attach the electrodes and sensors needed for the examination. These connect to small recording devices that transmit data wirelessly via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The sleep recording usually starts between 10:00 and 11:00 p.m. and ends around 5:00 a.m.
Results & Consultation
Evaluating a polysomnography requires careful analysis of extensive recordings and takes time. In most cases, preliminary results can be discussed with you the morning after the examination. Final results follow after detailed review.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to stay overnight at the sleep laboratory?
Yes, for polysomnography. Home sleep apnea testing is usually performed at home.
Can I continue taking my medication?
As a rule, you should continue taking your medication during your sleep laboratory stay just as you do at home. This helps us obtain representative results under your usual conditions. Any necessary changes for specific examinations will be discussed with you beforehand.
What should I bring?
Please bring sleepwear, personal hygiene items and your regular medication. Also bring any relevant new medical reports and, if applicable, your CPAP mask or dental appliance.
How many nights are needed in the sleep laboratory?
We generally plan two examination nights. The first night is often used to establish a diagnosis. Depending on the findings, suitable treatment may be tested or started during the second night. If the first night is inconclusive, the recording may be repeated.
Is CPAP therapy started after every examination?
No. Treatment depends on your symptoms, test results and medical indication.
