Overnight Oxygen Saturation Monitoring (Sleep Study)

Royal Hospital for Children for Patients, Carers & Visitors
NHS GGC

Your child’s doctor has asked for an overnight oxygen saturation study be carried out on your child. This test will be performed at home but you will have to collect the  monitor from Clinic 9/Respiratory/Sleep Laboratory in The Royal
Hospital for Children.

What is oxygen monitoring?
It is a test to measure the oxygen levels & heart rate and how this changes during their sleep at night.
