Sleep Lab
The Sleep Lab features state-of-the-art computerized monitoring equipment. A series of wires is connected to various parts of the patient’s body to monitor functions such as:
- Brain waves
- Muscle tone
- Eye movement
- Heart activity
- Airflow
The recording equipment is located in an adjoining room, where the staff can monitor the patient and make notations without disturbing the sleeper. A video camera allows the technologists to monitor the patients as needed and, if requested by the physician, to videotape the sleep session to document such conditions as night terrors.
If you need a healthcare provider, call the Health Resource Line at 765-642-3301 for assistance.
