Since 2015, Thérapie CPAP Outaouais has partnered with Cliniques Somnos under the direction of a pulmonologist and sleep specialist for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea. Once the sleep apnea screening test has been performed, the interpretation of cardiorespiratory sleep polygraphy is sent to the referring physician and, if applicable, to the family physician and/or specialist physician. Depending on the findings of the study, consultation with a pulmonologist may be recommended. Your doctor or a sleep doctor will decide what treatment to prescribe, as appropriate.
