In order to determine what kind of sleeping disorders a patient may have, our specialists may schedule a sleep study at one of our sleep centers.
Our sleep specialists diagnose sleep apnea based on medical and family histories, a physical exam and sleep study results.

But sure to allot at least a few hours to explore Otherworld because there’s a lot going on here!
BiPAP (Bi-level positive airflow pressure). This device has two pressure settings, one pressure for inhaling and a lower pressure for exhaling. It’s used for individuals who can’t tolerate CPAP machines or have elevated carbon dioxide levels in their blood.
Weight control. Obesity is one of the leading causes of obstructive sleep apnea. Many people can reduce their risk for the condition by losing weight.
Between 1816 and 1817, Jarvis W. Pike served as the first appointed mayor. Although the recent War of 1812 had brought prosperity to the area, the subsequent recession and conflicting claims to the land threatened the new town's success.

Adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) is used primarily as treatment for people who experience central sleep apnea. ASV operates similarly to PAP therapy, delivering pressurized air through a tube and mask that the sleeper wears.

There are a variety of treatments for sleep apnea, depending on an individual’s medical history and the severity of the disorder.
