Home Sleep Testing (HST)

Advances in sleep monitoring technology now allow us to study some patients with sleep related breathing disorder in the comfort and privacy of their own home. Home sleep testing is used only to detect obstructive sleep apnea, a condition in which a person repeatedly stops breathing for over ten seconds at a time during sleep. It is not a replacement for testing in a sleep center, which is needed to detect other sleep disorders or to test more medically complicated patients. 

Home sleep testing involves the use of a portable monitoring system that is easily applied by the patient or their home caregiver, which is worn during a normal night of sleep at home. The system includes a recording device, sensors, belts and related cables and accessories. Among the information collected through this monitoring system includes airflow, breathing effort, oxygen levels in the blood, and the sounds of snoring.
