关于睡眠呼吸暂停和ASMS

Advanced Sleep Medicine Services (ASMS) is a California-based medical practice specializing in the diagnosis of sleep apnea and other sleep disorders. We have been providing sleep testing services since 1994 — making us one of the most experienced sleep medicine groups in the state.

Our board-certified sleep physicians review every study personally. We ship FDA-cleared devices directly to patients throughout California, making professional sleep testing accessible without the need for an overnight lab visit.

Our headquarters is located in Redlands, California. However, because we specialize in home sleep testing, we serve patients throughout the entire state of California — from Los Angeles and San Diego to the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, Fresno, and beyond.

我们会将睡眠测试设备直接寄送到您位于加州的任何家中,无需前往诊所。您可以致电 (877) 775-3377 或访问我们的“服务地点”页面了解更多信息。.

We specialize in diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) — one of the most common sleep disorders in adults. Our home sleep test devices measure breathing patterns, oxygen levels, heart rate, and movement to detect apnea events throughout the night.

If your results indicate a more complex sleep disorder — such as central sleep apnea or another condition requiring an in-lab polysomnography — our report and recommendations will help your doctor guide you to the appropriate next step.

阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停最常见的症状包括大声打鼾、睡眠期间喘息或窒息(通常由伴侣报告)、白天过度嗜睡、早晨头痛、注意力难以集中,以及即使睡了一整夜醒来也感觉没有精神。.

许多睡眠呼吸暂停患者并不知道自己患有此病。如果您出现以下任何症状,居家睡眠测试是一种简单且经济实惠的检测方法。未经治疗的睡眠呼吸暂停与高血压、心脏病、中风和糖尿病等疾病相关,因此早期诊断至关重要。.

睡眠呼吸暂停症非常普遍——据估计,美国有超过3000万成年人患有此病,但其中大多数患者未被确诊。它会影响所有年龄和体型的男性、女性和儿童,但40岁以上的成年人和超重人群的患病率更高。.

由于许多人并不知道自己夜间会停止呼吸,睡眠呼吸暂停症有时被称为“隐形流行病”。一个简单的家庭睡眠测试就能确定你是否是数百万患者中的一员。.

自 1994 年以来,Advanced Sleep Medicine Services 一直是加州值得信赖的家庭睡眠检测服务提供商。凭借 30 多年的经验,我们获得委员会认证的睡眠医生已帮助成千上万的患者在舒适的家中获得准确的诊断。.

我们接受超过300种保险计划,使用经FDA批准的诊断设备,并将检测盒直接寄送到您位于加州的任何地址。我们的医生会亲自审核每一份检测报告,大多数患者都能在几天内收到结果。无需前往诊所,无需长时间等待——只需享受便捷、准确且值得信赖的检测服务。.

流程是什么?

家庭睡眠测试可以筛查阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停,这是一种常见的睡眠障碍。其主要目的是解决白天过度嗜睡的问题,因为白天嗜睡会降低生活质量、影响人际关系并损害工作效率。此外,家庭睡眠测试还能减少打鼾引起的人际关系问题,并降低心脏病、高血压、中风和糖尿病等相关健康风险。治疗可以恢复精力和警觉性。.

A Home Sleep Test or HST is a screening test for Obstructive Sleep Apnea. We use the NightOwl or ApneaLink Air devices. The NightOwl is a tiny device you tape to your index finger overnight and connect to your smartphone via bluetooth and an app. You use the device for 2 nights for best results, and don't need to return the device. The ApneaLink Air includes a small central unit, chest belt, finger cap for oxygen measurement, and nasal cannula. Patients wear it overnight at home, then return it in the prepaid envelope we provide.

You must obtain a physician's order. Your doctor or medical group sends the referral to us and we contact you to schedule shipment of the home sleep test kit. Our online scheduler simplifies address confirmation and paperwork completion. You take the test at home for 1 or 2 nights, depending on the device. Our board-certified sleep physician interprets the results. We send the final report with diagnosis and recommendations to your doctor, who will discuss the results and next steps with you.

We ship home sleep test kits via Priority Mail from the US Postal Service. For ApneaLink Air devices, a prepaid return envelope is included. You use the device for one night and return it the next day. NightOwl devices require two consecutive nights of testing and you don't need to return it.

We provide easy instructions including a short video for both the NightOwl and ApneaLink Air devices on our device instructions pages. For the NightOwl, you connect the device to an app on your smartphone via bluetooth, and simply tape the device to your index finger overnight. For the ApneaLink Air, you wear a chest belt with the device enclosed, with a finger probe and cannula. Our customer service at (877) 775-3377 supports patients with questions before or after testing during business hours.

设备送达当晚即可进行测试。提前返回有助于安排其他已预约的患者。如果无法立即进行测试,请致电 (877) 775-3377 联系客服寻求帮助。.

保持正常的睡眠习惯,以确保充分休息。上床后立即启动设备,即使没有立即入睡。夜间醒来时,设备仍保持开启状态是可以的。.

We send the completed report to your doctor, who will discuss the results and next steps with you. Once we receive the data from your sleep study, we send the report to your doctor approximately 10 business days after you complete the test, and sooner if possible. For the NightOwl device, we receive the data electronically as soon as you complete the second night of testing. For the ApneaLink Air device, we receive the data when you mail the device back to us in the prepaid envelope we provide. Prompt device return accelerates result delivery.

We send the completed report to your doctor, who will discuss the results and next steps with you. The report includes a diagnosis and recommendations for treatment. If the diagnosis is positive for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), treatment options may include an auto PAP device (auto CPAP). Treatment for mild cases may involve weight loss, positional devices, or dental appliances. Inconclusive results may warrant an in-center overnight sleep study.

对于成人阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停的诊断,家庭睡眠测试已通过临床验证,并被包括美国睡眠医学会(AASM)在内的所有主要医疗机构认可。它们在检测中重度阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停方面具有很高的准确性。.

实验室多导睡眠图检查可以测量更多数据点,如果您的症状提示存在更复杂的睡眠障碍(例如,中枢性睡眠呼吸暂停、周期性肢体运动障碍或发作性睡病),医生可能会建议您进行此项检查。您的医生会根据您的具体情况推荐合适的检查。.

准备工作很简单。测试当晚:避免午睡、饮酒和服用镇静剂,保持正常的睡前习惯,并以您平时习惯的睡姿入睡。请勿在传感器粘贴部位涂抹乳液、油脂或指甲油,因为这可能会影响信号质量。.

Each home sleep test kit comes with step-by-step printed instructions and a setup guide. Visit our Device Instructions page to review the short training video before using the device or for more detailed guidance. Call (877) 775-3377 if you have any questions before testing.

We send the completed report to your doctor, who will discuss the results and next steps with you. After you take the test, we get the data back and our board-certified sleep specialist physician interprets the results, a process that takes about 10 business days, or sooner if possible. For the NightOwl device, we get the data back electronically after you complete the second night of testing. For the ApneaLink Air device, we get the data back after you return the device to us in the prepaid envelope we provide.

阴性结果意味着数据显示没有明显的睡眠呼吸暂停事件。这是个好消息,但并不一定能排除所有睡眠障碍。如果您仍然存在白天嗜睡、打鼾或晨起头痛等症状,医生可能会建议您进行实验室睡眠监测以作进一步检查。.

有时,检测结果可能不确定(例如,睡眠期间设备脱落)。在这种情况下,我们可能会要求您免费重复检测。.

Yes, all sleep tests require a doctor's order. Your doctor can fax the order to us at (877) 855-6227 or email us at orders@sleepdr.com.

You can also contact us and we can often coordinate directly with your physician.

睡眠呼吸暂停及其治疗方案

PAP(正压通气)疗法是治疗阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停最有效的方法。PAP设备通过睡眠时佩戴的面罩持续输送加压空气,保持气道畅通,防止睡眠呼吸暂停引起的呼吸中断。.

最常见的类型包括CPAP(持续气道正压通气,固定压力)、APAP(自动调节气道正压通气,根据需要调节压力)和BiPAP(双水平气道正压通气,吸气和呼气压力不同)。大多数患者最初都使用APAP,它可以在夜间自动调节压力,以达到最佳的舒适度和疗效。.

医生会在确诊睡眠呼吸暂停后为您开具PAP治疗处方。高级睡眠医学服务中心可以协助您安排PAP设备的安装和后续耗材更换。请致电(87​​7) 775-3377或咨询您的医生以获取转诊。.

与自动评分系统不同,我们的医生会亲自审核每份记录,以确保其准确性和临床相关性。您将收到一份由医生签字的报告,其中包含明确的诊断和后续治疗建议。.
