Problems Obstructive Sleep Apnea Diagnosis Addresses
Sleep Apnea is a disorder that causes your breathing to pause during sleep and is likewise indicated by loud snoring. Breathing stops occur many times during the night and might last between ten seconds to a few minutes. The brain responds by waking you up so the airways will re-open to re-start breathing. OSA this results in excessive daytime sleepiness.
The condition can put you at risk, decrease your productivity, and cause accidents. Employers must monitor their employees’ health and have possible risk factors assessed under the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations of 2016.
We detect and remedy obstructive sleep apnea, which negatively affects reaction times, concentration, general well-being, and cause mental disorders such as anxiety and depression.
Businesses need to find the cause of an injury or accident. It has become general practice in industrial sectors to investigate human factors such as fatigue as part of a risk management strategy.
The identification and treatment of severe and moderate sleep apnea cases can substantially decrease business and government costs by preventing injuries and enhancing staff health, as pre-employment and annual medicals do.
What Sets Fit for Duty Apart Regarding Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment?
We perform a sleep study for the workplace or individual within 24 hours, and you receive the results and data within 48 hours.
Our studies and therapies are supervised by a senior sleep and respiratory physician, sleep physiologist, and a nursing team that provides on-going support and education so you can improve your quality of life and work performance through corrected sleep hygiene.
We perform a straightforward health evaluation and home-based overnight sleep test that measures your blood oxygen levels, nasal airflow, and the impeded breathing incidents while sleeping. Using this method, we can ascertain whether you meet the standards for a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) trial. We recommend that you use a CPAP machine for one to four weeks to find out if a long-term treatment will be suitable if you do.
We utilise modern technology for compliance monitoring and data downloads and provide top-quality service and products by brands such as Fisher & Paykel Health Care, ResMed, BMedical ZEST, SIMPLUS, Brevida and SleepStyle at prices that suit all budgets.
Once it’s been established that you can undergo long-term CPAP treatment, we register you for our Compliance & Monitoring Program, which is reviewed by our sleep physiologist, involves personal support and advice from our clinical team, and includes a CPAP machine by prescription.
