The Sleep Disorder Center is a two-suite lab, staffed by experienced Polysomnography Technicians and Respiratory Care Practitioners. Polysomnography, or sleep study, is a painless test to measure sleep cycles and stages by recording brain waves (EEG), muscle and eye movement, breathing rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation and hearth rhythm. These non-invasive tests can provide diagnostic information for the patient’s doctor to use in the development of a treatment plan.
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale is used to evaluate a patient's daytime sleepiness. Patients can return the Epworth Sleepiness Scale to the Sleep Lab by fax at 970-479-7188 or by email at sleepmedicine@vvmc.com. Please contact your healthcare provider if you would like to find out if a sleep study might be for you.
