General information
Step-by-step research
To identify pathology, specialists use the WatchPAT device. This allows you to determine the duration and structure of sleep. This method also helps to identify the connection between respiratory disorders and different stages of sleep.
24 hours before the study, you should stop using alpha blockers. 3 hours before the procedure, you must stop taking short-acting nitrates.
The WatchPAT itself resembles a fitness bracelet and is easy to put on your finger. The patient installs the device before going to bed. After this, he can sleep in his usual conditions. The next day the client returns the device to the clinic.
Information from WatchPAT is read and processed automatically. As a result, the specialist receives the following data:
- Duration and structure of sleep
- Apnea-hypopnea index
- Relationship of breathing disorders with REM and NREM stages of sleep
- Positional dependence
Use of the WatchPAT device is not recommended for children under 12 years of age or people with atrial pacing. Another contraindication is persistent non-sinus arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation or frequent extrasystole).

The cost of computer somnography at the K+31 clinic is 33,185 rubles. This amount includes monitoring of breathing parameters, hospital care and consultations with specialists.
Frequently Asked Questions
Doctors at K+31 addressed the most common questions about the computer somnography technique. Here are the main ones.
How are research results reported?
Research results are provided in the form of a detailed report. It includes graphs and tables with breathing indicators, apnea index, sleep phases, body position and pulse oximetry. A doctor's report with treatment recommendations is also attached.
After receiving the report, the patient needs to visit the specialist again. This is necessary to discuss the results in detail and obtain further recommendations.
How can I get diagnosed with sleep apnea at the K+31 clinic?
Can a patient use WatchPAT independently?
Yes, the WatchPAT device can be used at home - it is extremely easy to use. At an outpatient appointment, the doctor programs the device and gives instructions in 15 minutes. The patient independently installs the device 10 minutes before bedtime, and returns it to the medical facility in the morning.
Thanks to the high accuracy of automatic data decoding, the doctor receives the results of the study in a couple of minutes.

Who needs somnography
Computer somnography helps identify breathing disorders during sleep (in particular, obstructive apnea). In addition, this method accurately determines the duration and structure of sleep. It also allows you to assess the impact of respiratory disorders on different stages of sleep (REM and NREM) and dependence on posture.
Main indications for the study:
Unregulated sleep apnea contributes to the development of hypertension, myocardial infarction and stroke. And chronic fatigue and impaired concentration lead to deterioration of memory and cognitive functions.
