Sleep Studies in Krajmed
Polysomnography is performed to assess how a person sleeps, and whether breathing disorders occur during sleep. The indications for performing such a test include mainly the suspicion of breathing disorders during sleep. The main symptoms include loud snoring, pauses in breathing during sleep, and a tendency to fall asleep under different circumstances.
What does a sleep study consist of?
Such a test is also performed on insomnia patients who sleep poorly or wake up frequently during the night. It consists of a continuous recording of the sleep of the subject, which includes a record of the electrical activity of the brain, eye movement, muscle work during sleep. An important part of the study is also the recording of respiratory activity: airflow through the airways, respiratory movements of the chest and abdomen, and oxygen compactness in the blood. In addition, during such an examination, a record is made of the sounds of snoring and the positions of the body during sleep are monitored.
It is very important that the patient does not have too much trouble falling asleep in the new place, for this purpose it is advisable:
- The night before the survey was sleep deprived
- refrain from consuming coffee, strong tea and other beverages containing caffeine, theine, alcohol or other stimulants on the day of the test
Preparation for the survey
- Preparing the patient for the test (mounting all the sensors, filling out the relevant questionnaire, weighing, measuring) requires a reasonable amount of time, so we recommend that the patient arrive at our Center around 8 p.m. If the patient would like to freshen up before the test, there is a bathroom with a shower in the ward.
- You are very welcome to bring toiletries and a towel. You should bring 2-part pajamas with a shirt unbuttoned from the front for the examination (this will make it easier for us to install electrodes and sensors). For Patients accustomed to evening meals, it is possible to prepare such a meal. We kindly ask you to make such a request in advance.
- At the same time, we remind you to take or bring with you all medications taken in the evening and in the morning. This is especially important for those being treated for heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or chronic respiratory diseases.

Mileage research
- To be authoritative, the examination should last a minimum of 6 hours (the longer the examination, the more information it provides). Important information for us is the hour when the patient usually falls asleep.
- The entire process of sensor installation and examination will be adjusted so as not to disturb the Patient's diurnal cycle. If during the examination something disturbs the Patient or the Patient wakes up due to some discomfort or the need to go to the toilet, we would very much appreciate it if you inform the nurse on duty about it
- The next morning all sensors and electrodes will be disconnected. The patient will be able to leave our Center around 7 am after filling out the appropriate form regarding the study and sleep quality. After a thorough analysis of the results, the specialist will propose an appropriate treatment model
