This is an overnight recording of your child’s oxygen saturations, carbon dioxide levels and heart rate during sleep that is non-invasive.
It only lasts 1 night, and you and your child can go home first thing the next day.
These sensors are not painful, however some children and young people may find it upsetting to have these sensors attached. We will work closely with you and your child to successfully apply these sensors.
When your child wakes up and the study has finished, the sleep staff will remove your child’s sensors. We will then discharge you home promptly. The latest you can leave the sleep house is 7.30am. Your child can then go about their day as normal.
The sleep physiology staff will pass the data onto the sleep and respiratory team. The sleep and respiratory consultant will then look at the results and they will be discussed either at your next clinic appointment or the results will be sent to the referring doctor.
Results will not be available during your stay with us. It can take a few weeks to get the results.
If you have any questions or concerns you can speak to the sleep physiology team on 0114 305 3042. Please leave a message on our answer phone and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
If you are unable to come in for this appointment, please contact the bookings team on 0114 226 0698 to rearrange a new date. We would really appreciate you letting us know as soon as possible if you are unable to attend, so we can offer the slot to another patient on our waiting list.

We’ve got a special MRI scanner just for teddies so children can see what it’s like before they have a scan.
