Type of Sleep Study
Sleep Study Level 1:
Level 1 Sleep studies are conducted in a hospital or sleep centre under the supervision of a sleep technician and with a video recording. The Following parameters are recorded:
- EEG (Brain Activity)
- EOG (Eye Activity)
- ECG / Heart rate (Cardiac Activity)
- Chin EMG (Sleep Staging)
- Limb EMG (Limb and Muscle Movement)
- Respiratory effort (Thorax and Abdomen Movement)
- Air flow from nasal cannula (Airflow Movement)
- Pulse Oximetry (Oxygen desaturation and Pulse)
Sleep Study Level - 2 / Home Sleep Test – Most Common
Level – 2 Sleep studies are conducted at home.
The following Parameters are measured:
- Oxygen Saturation
- Heart rate
- Airflow
- Body movement
- Time spent Snoring
- Sleep position
- Brain waves.
Level 2 Sleep Studies are the most popular and preferred ones as these are done at the comfort of person’s home and are equally comprehensive like a Level l sleep study.
Sleep Study Level 3
Level 3 Sleep Study screens a person to establish the existence of obstructive sleep apnoea.
- Pulse oximetry (Oxygen desaturation and pulse)
- Effort Band (Respiratory Effort)
- Airflow Movement
It is thus a screening and not a diagnostic device.
Sleep Study Level 4
Level 4 Sleep Study also screens a person to establish the existence of obstructive sleep apnoea.
- Pulse oximetry (Oxygen desaturation and pulse)
- Airflow Movement
It is thus a screening and not a diagnostic device.
