Lung Health & Sleep Apnoea Assessment

Why book with Medifly

Terms & Conditions

Package Included

• Full-night Level-1 in-laboratory polysomnography (PSG) monitoring EEG, EOG, EMG, ECG, SpO2, airflow, respiratory effort, and limb movements
• Pulmonary function testing: spirometry (pre- and post-bronchodilator), DLCO, and lung volumes by body plethysmography
• 6-minute walk test (6MWT) with continuous pulse oximetry and Borg scale dyspnoea rating
• Low-dose CT (LDCT) chest scan for lung nodule detection, emphysema quantification, and airway assessment
• Overnight sleep lab nursing support and morning breakfast in the Sleep Centre

Benefits

• Level-1 polysomnography is the gold standard for OSA diagnosis, providing far greater diagnostic accuracy than home sleep tests
• Combined lung function, imaging, and sleep assessment in a single two-day programme eliminates the need for multiple separate appointments
• LDCT detects lung nodules as small as 2 mm, enabling early-stage lung cancer surveillance in high-risk patients including long-term smokers
• Body plethysmography measures total lung capacity and residual volume with greater accuracy than spirometry alone
• Same-day CPAP initiation allows OSA patients to begin therapy immediately rather than waiting for a separate follow-up

What to Expect

• Day 1 evening: Check into the Sleep Centre (typically 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm); orientation by the sleep technologist
• Electrode and sensor attachment for polysomnography: scalp EEG leads, ECG, SpO2 finger probe, nasal cannula, chest and abdominal effort belts, and limb EMG electrodes
• Sleep from approximately 10:30 pm with continuous overnight monitoring by the sleep technologist
• Morning wake-up at approximately 6:00 am; electrode removal and light breakfast provided in the Sleep Centre
• Transfer to the Respiratory Function Laboratory for spirometry, DLCO, and body plethysmography testing
