Comprehensive Paediatric Sleep Studies – From the Comfort of Your Home
At Prana, we specialise in home-based sleep studies, which means all the necessary equipment is attached to your child in the clinic and you return to sleep in your own home. The equipment is returned to the clinic the following day. This service is designed to be stress-free, convenient, and effective for both children and their families.
What We Offer:
At Home Sleep Studies: We provide detailed monitoring of your child's sleep, including breathing patterns, oxygen levels, heart rate, and brain activity, all from the comfort of your home.
Personalised Care: Every child is unique, and so is their sleep. Our team tailors the sleep study setup to your child's specific needs, ensuring they feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the process.
Consultation with Sleep Experts: Prior to and after the test, you will have a consultation with one of our paediatric sleep specialists to go over the results and discuss any necessary treatments. If you have been referred by an external sleep physician, we will forward the result to the referring doctor, to be discussed with you.
How Our Paediatric Ambulatory Sleep Studies Work
We make sleep studies simple and stress-free for both parents and children. Here’s how the process works:
Initial Consultation: We start with an in-depth consultation to understand your child’s sleep concerns. Our paediatric sleep specialists will evaluate the symptoms and determine whether an ambulatory sleep study is the right next step.
Clinic Setup: On the day of the sleep study, you and your child will visit our clinic, where a trained technician will carefully set up the monitoring equipment. This equipment is lightweight, non-invasive, and specifically designed for children. We ensure your child is comfortable and fully equipped before you return home.
Overnight Unattended Monitoring: Once home, your child will sleep in their own bed, allowing the equipment to monitor sleep patterns throughout the night. The study is completely unattended, meaning, no clinical staff is present in your home, providing a more natural sleeping environment for your child.
Returning the Equipment: The next morning, you will return the monitoring equipment to our clinic.
Specialist Paediatric Analysis: Our team of paediatric sleep trained scientists will retrieve the data and analyse the results.
Detailed Results and Follow-Up: Within 7-10 days, we will have a comprehensive report ready, detailing your child’s sleep patterns and any potential issues that need to be addressed. A follow-up consultation with a paediatric sleep specialist will help you understand the results and explore any treatment options or lifestyle changes that may be recommended.
