Diagnosis of sleep and snoring – Polysomnography

At the St. Luke’s Hospital there is a possibility of performing in-depth diagnostics of snoring and sleep apnea in adult patients. In each case, a laryngological consultation is recommended before the examination.
Polysomnography is performed to analyze sleep disturbances. Sleep apnea is based on repeated limitations of airflow in the airways during sleep. Symptoms that accompany this include: loud snoring, temporary night awakening, hypoxia.
As a consequence, apnea leads to hypertension, heart disease and other complications.
