Support for Better Sleep & Health
For many, getting to sleep or staying asleep can be difficult and causes many issues mentally and physically.
It’s common that sleep apnoea a sleep related breathing disorder is the cause of poor sleep. At Bendigo UFS we are trained sleep physicians who are passionate about helping patients with improving their sleep pattern. We’re so passionate because many of us have experienced this too.
Sleep Apnoea is a serious condition that causes excessive daytime drowsiness, poor concentration and memory and over time contributes to other physical and mental conditions.
Patients will often be aware they are snoring or wake up choking because their airway is narrow or becomes relaxed. To truly know if patient has sleep apnoea, a sleep study needs to be undertaken.
How can we help you?
We provide a supported sleep study that you’re able to do in the comfort of your home.
An extensive range of sleep support devices to suit a variety of needs
1 on 1 care throughout the journey
A sleep study at Bendigo UFS Pharmacies is a great alternative to having to spend the night in a sleep clinic or hospital.
You simply bring the device back to the pharmacy the next day and your report will be read and data interpreted by a sleep apnoea specialist doctor and will provide a diagnosis.
Can sleep apnoea be fixed?
Depending on the severity of the sleep condition a CPAP machine will be required. There are a variety of CPAP machines available to support the opening of the airways. Bendigo UFS will support you select which CPAP machine is right for you and gets the best night’s sleep for you.
Home Sleep Studies
We provide two types of at home-based sleep studies also known as diagnostic testing at Bendigo UFS Health Hub.
Both are able to diagnose sleep apnoea.
The Alice PDX os a Level 2 test that studies breathing, oxygen saturation and heart rate along with brain and muscle activity. This test identifies accurately when someone is asleep and at which stage of sleep they are in. This test is the same as a monitored hospital or sleep lab study, the only difference being that you are in your own bed without supervision by a technician.
The Sleep Ring is a home-based sleep study Level 3 that measures breathing airflow and effort, oxygen and heart rate. It can accurately detect the presence of obstructive sleep disorder (OSA) with a devise that is simply slipped onto your finger and worn overnight.
