Sleep Lab
Sleep studies can make a huge contribution to both the mental health and physical well-being of a child. Sleep-deprived children act out at school and at home; they make everyone’s life around them more difficult.
Children’s Hospital & Research Center Oakland has the best-equipped, most experienced pediatric sleep center on the Northwest Coast of the United States. A team of pediatric-certified polysomnographers (sleep technicians) helps kids ease through the sometimes awkward, but painless, procedure.
Our state-of-the-art sleep laboratory has three private bedroom suites, allowing several patients to be studied each night. Equipment and monitors are in a central control room, so the gear won't disrupt a study or make a child nervous. Parents may stay overnight in their own beds, in the same sleep suite as their child(ren).
Sleep-certified physicians provide full polysomnographic analysis, including EEG, O2 and CO2 challenges, and ventilatory support titration. Whatever the sleep study reveals, solutions are right outside the Sleep Lab’s door at Children's Hospital.
