ATTENDED FULL POLYSOMNOGRAPHY
Sleep studies by international standards at Osler Clinic
At Osler Clinic, we follow the standards of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, ensuring that our studies are accurate and comparable worldwide. Each study is personally interpreted by Dr. Javier Bogarín, the only physician in Paraguay certified in Sleep Medicine by the American Board of Medical Specialties (USA). We use the Neurovirtual BWII polysomnograph, which records up to 29 parameters of sleep, allowing precise diagnosis of complex disorders and detailed analysis of sleep stages, including REM sleep. Results are carefully reviewed page by page, ensuring a detailed report aligned with international standards. _ _

WATCHPAT SLEEP STUDY
At-home sleep diagnosis with WatchPAT One – results within 24 hours
WatchPAT One is a device approved by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine that allows accurate and convenient evaluation of sleep disorders at home. Its effectiveness has been validated in independent studies showing strong correlation with full polysomnography.
This compact device monitors 7 key signals during sleep at home:
✔ Peripheral arterial tonometry - Assesses cardiovascular response to respiratory events during sleep
✔ Pulse oximetry - Measures blood oxygen saturation
✔ Pulse rate - Records cardiac pulse rate during sleep
✔ Actigraphy - Detects body movement as an indicator of sleep/wake patterns
✔ Body position sensor - Identifies sleep posture
✔ Snoring sensor - Records intensity and frequency of snoring
✔ Respiratory effort - Helps detect central sleep apnea
Results can be available within 24 hours, enabling rapid and reliable diagnosis.

NOCTURNAL OXIMETRY
SPO 7500 Pulse Oximeter – Continuous and Accurate Monitoring
- SPO 7500 is a digital pulse oximeter designed to record blood oxygen saturation and heart rate over extended periods. Its compact wrist-worn design and memory capacity of up to 80 hours allow continuous evaluation during both daytime and nighttime. - - - -
- - Continuous oximetry is a key tool for detecting and monitoring:
✔ Causes of dyspnea, fatigue, and exercise intolerance
✔ Nocturnal desaturations suggestive of sleep apnea or other cardiopulmonary disorders .
✔ Effectiveness of CPAP therapy in patients with sleep apnea .
✔ Need for nocturnal oxygen therapy in advanced lung or heart disease .
Thanks to its precision and ease of use, the SPO 7500 provides reliable monitoring across a wide range of clinical scenarios SPO 7500 -
