Sleep Studies
If your physician suspects a sleep disorder, they may order an overnight diagnostic sleep study. Sleep studies at HRRMC are directed by Suzanne Lesage, MD, a board-certified physician in sleep medicine and neurology.
Dr. Lesage and several specially trained respiratory therapists will conduct this painless, non-invasive test inone of our two sleep labs, which are located in the hospital’s Cardiopulmonary Department. The sleep labs are designed to replicate a comfortable bedroom and each has an adjoining private bathroom.
Sensors will be placed on different parts of your body to measure:
- Brain waves
- Eye and jaw muscle movement
- Heart rate
- Leg movements
- Airflow
- Breathing effort
- Oxygen saturation
Information gathered from the sensors will help to determine the type and severity of a sleep disorder. Appropriate treatment options will be discussed following the sleep study.
Watch the how-to video below for tips on setting up your home sleep study.
To make an appointment for a sleep study (with a doctor’s order), please call HRRMC’s Cardiopulmonary Department at (719) 530-2280.
Dr. Lesage is available for outpatient consultations at the following location.
