At Barton County Memorial Hospital our Sleep Center is dedicated to providing complete evaluation, testing, diagnosis and treatment of all types of sleep disorders. The sleep center utilizes a sophisticated control area to monitor brain, heart, muscle, and breathing activity while sleeping. Through this state-of -the–art-technology, sleep disorders for both adults and children can be diagnosed and treated. During your stay at the sleep center, our highly qualified staff will do everything possible to make you comfortable. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition that is far more common than generally understood. Early recognition and treatment of OSA is important because it may be associated with irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke. |
