Frequently Asked Questions

Vejthani International Hospital provides diagnosis and treatment for all major types of sleep apnea, including Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), the most common form caused by a blockage of the airway; Central Sleep Apnea (CSA), which is related to the brain's control of breathing; and Treatment-Emergent Central Sleep Apnea, a complex condition that can arise during the treatment of OSA.
A sleep study, or polysomnography, at Vejthani is an overnight, non-invasive test conducted in a comfortable, private room. During the study, sensors will be placed on your body to monitor various physiological parameters as you sleep, including brain waves, heart rate, breathing patterns, blood oxygen levels, and limb movements. This data is then analyzed by a sleep specialist to diagnose sleep disorders and determine their severity.
Vejthani Hospital offers several surgical options for sleep apnea, which are considered when other treatments like CPAP are not effective or suitable. These include Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) to remove excess tissue from the soft palate and pharynx, and other procedures to address specific anatomical obstructions. The choice of surgery is highly individualized and is determined after a thorough evaluation by an ENT specialist.
