Sleep Care

Hudson Hospital’s Sleep Care Center offers sleep studies that provide a comprehensive record of sleep patterns. All testing is done in our contemporary and comfortable environment with state-of-the-art equipment that painlessly monitors your sleep.

What To Expect During Your Sleep Test
Your sleep test will be conducted by a sleep technologist. The technologist, who will be in a separate room from you during the testing, will show you the equipment and explain the procedure. The specialized equipment is used to track many body functions, including brain wave activity, breathing, heart rate, blood oxygen concentration, leg and chin muscle activity, eye movement, snoring and body position. Recording sensors are placed on the skin surface to record this activity. You may have to wear a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device, which is a mask that fits around your nose or nose and mouth.

What to Expect After the Sleep Test
After the sleep study, our physician sleep specialists will analyze and interpret the large amount of data recorded during the study. Our specialist will then directly share with your doctor the results of the interpretation and treatment recommendations if a sleep disorder is diagnosed. You will then have a follow-up visit with your physician to discuss the results.

Treatment for Sleep Disorders
In partnership with your physician, our center will work to get you the necessary equipment, supplies and education to manage your treatment. Treatment varies depending on the specific disorder. For sleep apnea, treatment options include a recommendation for weight loss, usage of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) mask (a mask worn at night connected to an air compressor), surgery, medication or dental appliances. No matter the treatment, Hudson Hospital can support you to conveniently and compassionately manage your treatment and recovery.
