Doctor Luke Katahanas now runs a specialised Snoring and Sleep Apnoea service at Capalaba Medical Centre.

Far too many people and, especially, their partners are suffering unnecessarily from snoring related health problems – sleep apnoea, heart disease, daytime fatigue, marital discord, depression, and more.

Yet not every snorer needs treating. A thorough clinical evaluation at Capalaba Medical Centre will determine the cause and appropriate treatment for your problem. It will also confirm if treatment is even necessary.

In our experience, snoring and sleep apnoea treatments can sometimes be simple depending on what’s causing your problem, and of course its more practical to treat it once, and treat it properly!

Don’t just jump in and buy some unnecessary appliance from a sales organisation before having a thorough physical examination with our Sleep-GP trained doctor who will prescribe the simplest and most appropriate treatment pathway for this condition which affects you, or someone close to you.

Capalaba Medical Centre now provides an Evidence Based Snoring and Sleep Apnoea service. This is Brisbane’s first GP operated Sleep Apnoea clinic where a thorough anatomical examination provides patient’s with the most appropriate treatment pathway.

Because we consider all possible snoring solutions, our patients can often choose from more than one recommended option specific to each case.

It’s affordable, we’re involved in research, and we treat both long term and new patient’s, as well as providing second opinions for the skeptical or confused sufferer who seeks a candid discussion based on current evidence.

We provide everything from a simple home based sleep study service right through to surgery, mandibular splints, CPAP therapy or even no treatment depending on the clinical indication and current evidence.

You Need An Appointment

To set up an appointment, here are the steps to follow:

1. Download the Home Sleep Study Referral Form. Print it out and bring this to your General Practitioner. Or ask your GP to open this webpage and print out the form. Your GP needs to fill it out and sign it.
2. Request your GP Medical Centre to fax it to us on 07 3381 9025.
3. We will call you to set an appointment.

The Appointment Has Two Options

We offer two options, and you can choose which one will be more convenient for you.

Option 1: You can come to our clinic in Springfield Lakes for set-up

If you come to our clinic to get the PSG attached to you, be prepared to drive home straight after. 

Option 2: The technician comes to your home for set-up

Our Sleep Technician will come to your home between 5.00 p.m. and 7.00 p.m. to attach the portable PSG to you. 

 

Preparing For Your Home Sleep Study

It’s important to prepare for the test by doing the following:

1. Shower before the appointment and dress ready for bed. Wear decent, comfortable but loose night clothes.
2. Don’t plan anything else for the evening so you can give your full attention to the sleep study procedures.
3. Expect the Sleep Technician to measure your breathing function, and fill in some paperwork.
4. Set aside sufficient time for your appointment. Our Sleep Technician will need about 1 hour for the set up.
5. Follow your usual routine of getting into bed. Take your usual medications.
6. Prepare to go to bed early to enable the PSG to get as much sleep data as possible.

The Next Morning

Remove the sleep test equipment according to instructions. Pack it carefully in its bag, and return it according to your sleep technician’s instructions.
