Home Sleep Tests: A Deep Dive Part IV
Tips and Tricks from Dr. Sahil Chopra
How to have a conversation with a patient about their sleep test results
- Reassure them that OSA is treatable.
- Remind them that therapy for a sleep disorder will be personalized to their preference (and make sure to do so).
- Remember to look for degradation between normal and abnormal on the form based on color (green, yellow, or red).
3 reasons why it’s important to do multi-night testing
- It allows the patient to experiment with what they think helps them sleep better at night.
- It gives a better picture of what a patient’s sleep is really like by showing multiple time points.
- It helps a patient realize that results are not a fluke and accept the fact that there’s an issue with their sleep.
