what is a pap nap study
Abbreviated Daytime Sleep Study (e.g. PAP-NAP) DESCRIPTION. Sleep apnea syndrome is a breathing disorder characterized by the cessation of breathing for at least ten seconds, which occurs repetitively throughout the night and is accompanied by hypoxia and hypercapnia. Overnight polysomnography (PSG) testing is performed to diagnose the disorder.
The Papanicolaou test (abbreviated as Pap test, known earlier as Pap smear, cervical smear, or smear test) is a method of cervical screening used to detect potentially pre-cancerous and cancerous processes in the cervix (opening of the uterus or womb). Pap smear is performed by opening the vaginal canal with a speculum, then collecting cells at the outer opening of the cervix at the transformation zone (where the outer squamous cervical cells meet the inner glandular endocervical cells).
