Respiratory Clinical Support

We assure exceptional clinical support guidance and data management.

If you are suffering from sleep disorders, your doctor may refer a sleep evaluation test. An evaluation often involves overnight monitoring of your breathing and other body functions during sleep. Microteck provides Home sleep testing solution from the worlds leading brands in respiratory monitoring. Tests to detect sleep apnea include:

• Nocturnal polysomnography. During this test, you're hooked up to equipment that monitors your heart, lung and brain activity, breathing patterns, arm and leg movements, and blood oxygen levels while you sleep.
• Home sleep tests. These tests usually measure your heart rate, blood oxygen level, airflow and breathing patterns.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)

If you have moderate to severe sleep apnea, you might benefit from using a machine that delivers air pressure through a mask while you sleep. With CPAP (SEE-pap), the air pressure is somewhat greater than that of the surrounding air and is just enough to keep your upper airway passages open, preventing apnea and snoring.

Although CPAP is the most common and reliable method of treating sleep apnea, some people find it cumbersome or uncomfortable. Some people give up on the CPAP machine, but with practice, most people learn to adjust the tension of the straps on the mask to obtain a comfortable and secure fit.

You might need to try more than one type of mask to find one that's comfortable. Don't stop using the CPAP machine if you have problems. Check with your doctor to see what changes can be made to increase your comfort.

Additionally, contact your doctor if you're still snoring or begin snoring again despite treatment. If your weight changes, the pressure settings of the CPAP machine might need to be adjusted.

Positive Airway Pressure Therapy

With an extensive range of sleep apnea devices for positive airway pressure therapy to choose from, we're confident you'll find one with the features to meet your needs.

If using a CPAP machine continues to be a problem for you, you might be able to use a different type of airway pressure device that automatically adjusts the pressure while you're sleeping (auto-CPAP). Units that supply bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP) also are available. These provide more pressure when you inhale and less when you exhale.
