Polysomnography

What is polysomnography ?

Polysomnography is the most comprehensive test for studying sleep patterns and detecting possible sleep-related disorders.
It monitors numerous physiological parameters such as brain activity, muscles electrical activity, eye movements, breathing, cardiac activity and oxygen levels using various sensors and electrodes.

This examination takes place during a night stay at the sleep centre, and sometimes throughout the following day (especially for alertness assessments). The patient is filmed throughout the polysomnography in order to correlate the data collected with the activity observed visually and in real time by a sleep technician.

The purpose of polysomnography

Polysomnography helps assess the quality, quantity and organisation of sleep, and identify possible disorders such as sleep apnoea or periodic limb movements.

A team of specialised and experienced technicians continuously monitors the patient throughout the night. On the following day, the daytime technician team analyse and correct the data collected. The analysis is validated by a sleep specialist. They interpret the results in the context of the patient’s clinical issue. A summary of the results as well as a therapeutic proposal are then communicated to the prescribing physician.

Additional night-time and daytime examinations

Some additional tests are performed at the Sleep Medicine Centre in conjunction with the polysomnography. However, some tests can also be carried out at home. In this case, the patient equip themselves with the monitoring device following the technician’s recommendations.
