Paediatric Home Sleep Study Melbourne
Comprehensive Paediatric Sleep Studies In The Comfort Of Your Home
At Prana, we specialise in home-based sleep studies for children and adolescents. Rather than spending the night in hospital, your child will attend a brief clinic appointment where our team will apply the monitoring equipment and explain how everything works. You can then return home, allowing your child to sleep in their own bed and familiar environment.
The equipment is returned to the clinic the following day, where the data is analysed by our experienced paediatric sleep scientists and specialist team. This process is designed to be convenient, child-friendly and far less stressful for families than an overnight hospital stay.
What Our Home Sleep Studies Monitor
Our hospital-grade sleep studies can assess a range of important factors during your child’s sleep, including:
Breathing patterns
Oxygen levels
Heart rate
Snoring and noisy breathing
Sleep position and movement
Brain activity and sleep stages
Pauses in breathing or obstructive events
This information helps our team diagnose conditions such as snoring, Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, mouth breathing, restless sleep, daytime tiredness and other sleep-related breathing disorders.
Personalised, Specialist-Led Care
Every child is different, which is why we tailor each sleep study to your child’s age, symptoms and individual needs. Our team takes the time to ensure your child feels as relaxed and comfortable as possible throughout the process.
Before and after the study, you will meet with one of our specialist paediatric sleep clinicians to discuss your child’s symptoms, review the results and plan the next steps. If your child has been referred by an external paediatrician, ENT surgeon or sleep physician, we can also provide the results directly to the referring doctor for ongoing care.
