Sleep apnea Diagnosis by Home Sleep Study
Home sleep study are used to diagnose sleep apnea- obstructive and central types.
A home sleep study should be utilized only as part of a comprehensive sleep evaluation.
Why Home Sleep Study instead of conventional sleep lab test
Home Sleep study is greatly preferred by patients over the traditional sleep lab studies because it gives:
- Maximum Comfort
Most people are more comfortable sleeping in their own beds with no one observing them from another room. - Minimum Cost
Cost is a huge consideration as well; a traditional in-lab sleep study is 3 to 4 times more expensive than an HST.
- Most Convenient : Patients are usually diagnosed, treated, and on therapy in less than a week with Home Sleep Study as compared to possible months later in traditional sleep studies.
