What Does a Sleep Study Measure?

The most widely used type of sleep study is a polysomnogram. While you slumber in a high-tech sleep lab that looks like a comfortable hotel room, a technician in a nearby room records your brain activity and selected information from your body. Together, this data reveal a detailed picture of your unique sleep patterns—including how much time you spend in light and deep stages, whether you’re receiving enough oxygen, how often you awaken (even slightly), and whether sleep is disrupted by factors such as arm and leg movements.

What Steps Can Increase Comfort?

better sleep, avoid alcohol and naps the day of your sleep study. Don’t have anything with caffeine (including coffee, tea, cola and chocolate) after lunch. At your doctor’s visit before your sleep study, be sure to share all of the medications and supplements you take. Follow your doctor’s recommendations, and bring comfortable pajamas and a book or magazine to read.

“We don’t expect you to sleep as well as you would at home, and we take that into account,” Benjamin says. “Most people sleep better than they expect. The technicians are very reassuring too.” If you have to use the bathroom during the study, just say so. The technician monitoring your sleep will disconnect the wires for you.

How is Endoscopic Skull Base & Orbital Surgery Done?

The Procedure

Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery is a minimally invasive approach that uses the nose and sinus cavities as natural corridors to reach the skull base or brain. This procedure makes it possible for physicians to operate on areas that were either once deemed inaccessible or requiring a craniotomy or large incision on the face or skull.

Endoscopic Orbital Surgery uses the same techniques to access diseases or tumors of the eye socket (orbit) or optic nerve leading to the brain.

During the procedure, an endoscopic skull base surgeon works alongside neurosurgeons, ophthalmologists, and other specialists as needed. This combination of specialists ensures the best care possible for patients.

Step-by-Step Process

Preparation

Patient is placed under general anesthesia and positioned appropriately for the procedure.

Access

The endoscope is inserted through the nostril to access the nasal cavity and sinuses.

Navigation

Using specialized navigation systems, the surgeon carefully advances toward the target area.

Treatment

The condition is treated using specialized instruments while preserving surrounding structures.

Completion

The surgical site is examined for any complications, and the instruments are removed.
