Sleep Disorders Lab
Recognizing the need for sleep services in our county, Carteret General Hospital opened a Sleep Disorders Laboratory. The lab consists of two bedroom suites for performing a broad range of sleep related services.
Patients arrive just in time of their normal bedtime and are watched closely throughout the night. A camera records the patient's activity and electrodes monitor a patient's brainwaves and cardiovascular output during the night. These findings are analyzed to help determine the cause of a patient's sleeplessness.
By improving sleep related disorders, a person not only can get a good night's sleep, but improve their overall health as well.
