Sleep diagnostics in sleep laboratories

In the sleep lab, you need a continuous way to monitor and record oxygenation and ventilation of patients while they are sleeping. Patients need a diagnosis for their sleep or breathing disorder.

You need:

All devices and sensors set up and working properly before the patient arrives
The sensors and devices are attached to the patient
An undisturbed sleep environment for the duration of the study to get the most accurate data possible
The data recorded and prepared for the physician who makes their diagnosis

Diagnosing your patients in the sleep laboratory

Transcutaneous blood gas monitoring is one way to measure the oxygenation and ventilation of patients while they sleep. It is non-invasive, continuous, and a widely accepted monitoring method in sleep labs. [1]

Several research studies point towards transcutaneous monitoring of CO₂ being preferable to arterial pCO₂ to monitor patients on non-invasive ventilation undergoing sleep studies. [2, 3]

Combined tcpCO₂ and SpO₂ transcutaneous monitoring helps detect hypoventilation in patients at risk of sleep-related breathing disorders. You can also use transcutaneous monitoring of CO₂ on children with breathing problems related to sleep disorders or children with respiratory or congenital diseases [4-6].

TCM5 BASIC transcutaneous monitor – ready when you are

When it comes to sleep diagnostics, preparation is key. You want all your devices and sensors set up and working properly before the patient arrives.

The TCM5 BASIC transcutaneous monitor helps make preparation easier. Built-in tutorials and a clear, simple user interface simplify setup, usage and troubleshooting.

Automatic sensor calibration reduces preparation time, supporting your workflow in the sleep lab.
