Sleep Disorder Center- Sleep Disorders, Treatment, Diagnosis, Sleep Lab
The Sleep Disorder Center of Panama City specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disordered breathing. Our goal is to help you to achieve restful and better sleep.
We perform a number of routine tests including: the Polysomnogram- this test is considered standard in the diagnosis of sleep disorders. It records brain waves (EEG), eye movement (EOG), muscle movement (EMG), respiratory airflow, respiratory movement, oxygen saturation, snoring, heart activity (ECG), and body position, Polysomnogram with CPAP/Bi-PAP/AutoSV- a second study done with the use of a mask in order to reach the optimal setting needed for a prescription, Split-Night Polysomnogram- a sleep study that has a diagnostic and treatment portion that is completed in one night based upon the patient's needs, PAP NAP- a nap done in order to desensitize the patient to the pressures of the therapy, MSLT (Multiple Sleep Latency Test)- A series of 5 naps at 2 hour time slots performed in order to assess excessive daytime sleepiness. Actigraphy- the use of recordings of body motion to show activity patterns across consecutive days and nights and requires the patient to wear a wristwatch-sized actimeter device, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)- a form of therapy that aims to help fix ingrained patterns of negative thoughts and behaviors, which has shown to be effective in treating insomnia, MWT (Maintenance of Wakefulness Test)- a daytime polysomnographic procedure that measures the ability to remain awake during boring and low light environments, Home Sleep Studies- a polysomnogram performed in the patient's home in special circumstances, and Overnight Pulse Oximetry-a measuring instrument that is taken home which measures the oxygen in arterial blood throughout the night.
Call or stop by the Sleep Center of Panama City if you or a loved one is suffering from sleep loss or a sleeping disorder.

Sleep and CPAP
What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea? Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a condition in which a patient's muscles and tissues in the throat and air passage relax while sleeping, and this impedes the flow of air into the lungs due to a blockage of the airway. This can occur many times per night in the sleep cycle and especially during the REM sleep stages. Apnea is Greek for "without breath." The scientific standard of an apneic event is the patient must stop breathing for at least 10 seconds per event and have an overall blood oxygen desaturation level of 3 % to 4 percent along with certain potential changes in EEG frequencies and data. If a person has 5 or more of any type of events per hour of sleep then they can be clinically diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. The body responds to this lack of oxygen by arousing, or waking from sleep. This cycle leads to the patient being unable to get the needed quantity of restful sleep and results in: Constant Fatigue Difficulty Focusing Irritability Untreated Sleep Apnea is potentially fatal and frequently results in the following serious health problems: Heart Attacks Strokes High Blood Pressure Diabetes

Risk Assessment for Cardiovascular & Metabolic Consequences in SDB
Arterial hypertension is very common – the association of OSAS with hypertension was demonstrated with large population-based studies. As a consequence of nocturnal sympathetic activation the normal night-time 'dipping' of the blood pressure is blunted. If this is suspected, 24-h blood-pressure monitoring is recommended.
As an increasing body of evidence points to an association of OSAS and adverse cardiovascular risk, the question remains, if in the near future screening for SDB could prove beneficial as the evidence supporting favorable effects of treatment in the reduction of cardiovascular risk is steadily growing. Screening, using nocturnal oximetry for the detection of sleep-related breathing disturbances was recommended for patients with heart failure. However, indications to screen for OSA and target subgroups remain to be defined. In a clinical update, experts in the field recommended considering OSA in high-risk patients, especially those considered obese (BMI >30 kg/m2) with refractory hypertension and 'non dippers'.
There is also increasing evidence for an association between OSA and the metabolic syndrome. Between subjects with the metabolic syndrome, elevated serum glucose levels indicate a higher probability for the presence of OSA. In addition, SDB may be considered an integral component of the metabolic syndrome, after correction of BMI and other potential confounding factors.
