Non-emergency sleep studies temporarily postponed through March 27As the situation with COVID-19 continues to evolve, maintaining the safety of our patients, team members and visitors remains our primary focus. After careful consideration, and to support the CDC's guidelines regarding social distancing, the Sleep Center is temporarily postponing non-emergent outpatient sleep studies, effective immediately. The Sleep Center will remain closed through Friday, March 27, at which time we will reassess this decision.If it is determined an emergent inpatient sleep study is required, the sleep study will take place at Children's Medical Center Dallas, where the on-call sleep specialist will be paged for inpatient requests and a pulmonary consult will assess the urgency. The Sleep Specialist/Pulmonologists are monitoring the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) recommendations on inpatient sleep studies as it relates to COVID-19.The Children's Health Pediatric Sleep Disorders Center in Dallas is the largest program in North Texas accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Sleep is as important as nutrition and exercise for growing children.
