Sleep labs at the hospitals of Texas Health Resources help physicians diagnose and treat sleep disorders.
“Usually if a patient is suffering from sleep apnea, they are irritable or moody and may have morning headaches,” said Amanda Bowden, the Sleep Lab manager at Texas Health Harris Methodist HEB. “A lot of physiological problems go along with having sleep apnea.”
Sleep lab patients at Texas Health hospitals are monitored for different issues — nothing is invasive, there are no needle sticks, nothing hurts! Technicians monitor brain waves, heart waves, eye movement, respiratory movement in the abdomen and chest, a snore microphone, leg muscles, and oxygen saturation.
All of the data are digitally captured as wave-forms on a computer over a six- to eight-hour period.
Poor sleep can impact blood pressure, diabetes and vascular problems.
Interrupted airflow is a common problem with sleep apnea.
Therapy for sleep apnea might include CPAP — Continuous Positive Airway Pressure.
A sleep disorder essment can be completed online at: http://www.texashealth.org/workfiles/THR%20System/Service_Lines/SleepLabQuestionaire.pdf
Interested individuals can share the results of an essment with their doctor and ask about sleep studies at a Texas Health hospital.

Texas Health Resources 2009 Quality Conference Award Winner — Judges Award
Caregivers from Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth garnered the Judges Award on April 24 with “The Breath of Life: Using Bubble CPAP to Decrease Chronic Lung Disease in Premature Infants” at the 2009 Texas Health Resources Quality Conference.
In 2008, research showed a significant reduction in ventilator usage in premature infants by using Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, or CPAP. Caregivers wondered, could this respiratory support have an additional benefit for very low birthweight babies and decrease rates of chronic lung disease ociated with ventilator use?
Within a year of starting the project, instances of chronic lung disease have been reduced by more than 10 percent by using Bubble CPAP.
