Leading-edge diagnostic equipment.

Today’s technological advances in sleep medicine have significantly improved the way sleep disorders are diagnosed. Here at Rhode Island Sleep Institute, Dr. Matarese makes every effort to study these advances and offer them to his patients. By using the very latest diagnostic equipment, Dr. Matarese can provide you with an accurate and highly detailed sleep study. Some of the leading-edge diagnostic capabilities available at Rhode Island Sleep Institute include:

• Digital diagnostic equipment from Grass-Telefactor, regarded as the “gold standard” of sleep-testing equipment.
• Full-night digital video recording to help correlate sleep behavior with a possible sleep problem, such as night terrors and sleepwalking.
• Complete polysomnographic study (PSG) to evaluate brain, eye and muscle movement, blood levels of oxygen, heart rate and rhythm, breathing effort, airflow through the mouth and nasal passages, snoring and chest and abdominal movement.
• Multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) to help diagnose narcolepsy and chronic fatigue, among others.

All of the sleep rooms at Rhode Island Sleep Institute are networked together into a single hub, allowing our technologists to monitor your sleep study at any time.
