The Baptist Hospital East Sleep Disorders Center is designed to help people discover the cause of their sleeplessness, and determine the most effective treatment options available to them. Treatment includes:<br /><ul>
<li>A consultation appointment to gather information about sleep and medical history; </li>
<li>A sleep study may be done to monitor sleep stages, breathing patterns, heart activity, blood oxygen levels and body movements. Sleep studies are scheduled during your normal sleeping period. </li>
</ul>
<br />Specialists at the Sleep Disorders Center will evaluate test results and treatment recommendations will be discussed with you and your primary care physician for long-term care. <br /><br />Baptist East's Sleep Disorders Center has recently added a pediatric component to meet the growing need for sleep studies for children ages 5 and up. To diagnose a sleeping disorder for younger patients, the Sleep Disorders Center performs a variety of tests while children stay overnight with a parent or guardian. Rooms are furnished with kid-friendly touches such as stuffed animals and TV/DVDs for watching a favorite movie. <br /><br />The Sleep Disorders Center is fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and features eight private sleeping suites. Each suite has a full-size bed, cable television, shower and restroom facilities - all of the conveniences of being at home, in a quiet, restful environment.. * Consultation appointments
