ABOUT ME AND MY NEW SERVICE
I am a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist with 30 years experience in sleep medicine. This specialty continues to be my passion and the reason for this new service.
My mission is to provide a sleep study in the comfort of your home. A home sleep apnea test (HSAT) measures oxygen saturation, heart rate, breathing from your mouth and nose, and movement in your chest and abdomen. This device will identify sleep disorders including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a serious breathing disorder that occurs when someone experiences complete or partial obstruction during sleep. If left untreated, sleep apnea can increase the risk of health problems, including; high blood pressure, stroke, heart failure, irregular heart beats, and heart attacks, just to name a few.
La polygraphie ventilatoire à domicile est un examen qui permet d'enregistrer la respiration, le niveau d'oxygène, le pouls, le movement du thorax et de l'abdomen au cours du sommeil. Elle est utilisée pour diagnostiquer des troubles du sommeil comme le Syndrome d'apnées du sommeil. Cette anomalie peut causer des problèmes de santé importants comme l'hypertension artérielle, la diabète, la dépression et plusieurs autres.

FAQs
I’ve Got Answers
Do I need a referral from my doctor?
Dois-je besoin de consulter avec un médecin ?
No referral necessary but you do need a physician or nurse practitioner for a follow-up. I will be reviewing each test and create a report. The test will then be interpreted by a sleep specialist and the results submitted to your Health Professional.
