Home Respiratory Polygraphy to Detect Sleep Apnea at Home
At Ipsomedical, we perform home respiratory polygraphy to detect possible signs of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome comfortably, simply, and non-invasively from home. The study helps assess breathing pauses, oxygen drops, snoring, and other symptoms, offering a private evaluation and clear guidance.
What is a home respiratory polygraphy?
Respiratory polygraphy is a diagnostic test performed overnight while the patient sleeps at home. This test focuses on recording respiratory and cardiorespiratory parameters related to sleep apnea.
With this data, the specialist can assess whether there are indications of obstructive sleep apnea and determine the next steps.
It is an especially convenient option for people who prefer to avoid travel, sleep in their own environment, and perform the study under conditions more similar to their usual rest.

If the concern about suffering from sleep apnea is on your mind, we can help you with the diagnosis and treatment of this sleep disorder.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can sleep apnea be cured?
It depends on the cause and severity. In many cases, sleep apnea is effectively managed with treatment, such as CPAP, mandibular advancement splints, lifestyle changes, or surgery in specific cases, although it does not always disappear permanently.
Is home respiratory polygraphy painful?
No. It is a non-invasive and painless test performed while you sleep, by placing sensors to record breathing, blood oxygen, pulse, and other sleep-related parameters.
Do I have to sleep in a clinic?
Not necessarily. Home respiratory polygraphy allows the sleep test to be performed at home, in a more comfortable and familiar environment for the patient.
Is home respiratory polygraphy the same as polysomnography?
