Nighttime Oximetry

The process is simple and straightforward:

1. Call us to schedule an appointment.

2. We'll bring a portable device (like the one pictured above) that records your blood oxygen levels during the night to your residence. We'll show you how to use it.

3. Sleep normally in your bed while wearing the device on your finger. The measurements will be taken automatically throughout the night. 

4. The next day, we'll collect the device and extract the data, which then we can send to you or your doctor for evaluation.

• Early detection of sleep apnea:  Nighttime oximetry can help identify individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Early detection is crucial for preventing serious health complications.
• Evaluation of sleep-related breathing disorders: It can help diagnose other sleep-related breathing disorders such as central sleep apnea and Cheyne-Stokes respiration.
• Monitoring of chronic respiratory conditions: Nighttime oximetry can be used to monitor patients with chronic respiratory conditions like COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) to assess their oxygen levels during sleep and determine if they need supplemental oxygen therapy.
• Non-invasive and convenient: Nighttime oximetry is a non-invasive and relatively simple procedure that can be performed in the comfort of your own home.
• Cost-effective: Avoid the cost of purchasing a nighttime oximetry device, which is approximately 25 times the cost of a simple oximeter.
