Expert care to help you manage your symptoms

OSAS is a common condition resulting from recurrent narrowing and brief collapse of the back of the throat during sleep. Symptoms include snoring, pauses in breathing, restless and poor sleep, and sleepiness during the day.

OSAS can be successfully treated, usually with a special face mask (CPAP) that supports the upper airway with pressurised air during sleep.

We have purpose built facilities for comprehensive in-patient sleep monitoring (polysomnography), which measure the pattern and depth of sleep and closely monitors breathing during sleep. However, the majority of patients can be diagnosed using much simpler monitoring which can be performed at home following demonstration of the equipment during a brief visit to the hospital.  The specialist you see will be able to advise on which test is best for you.

We are experienced in the long term care and management of patients on CPAP therapy and provide regular clinical review and maintenance of the equipment.
