Sleep Laboratory at the International Hospital and Nightingale Hospital, Guwahati was established in 2012 and was the first in North-East India. It was an initiative from Dr Gautam Khaund, ENT surgeon from Nightingale Hospital lead to the sleep lab in the hospital. I am working as visiting consultants with Kanak Huzuri as a well trained sleep technician. We have planned to start state of the Art sleep laboratory in Gauhati Medical College, Guwahati and it may come in reality by end of 2015. We are currently using two Emblet X100 from Resmed and one PDX polysomnography machine from Philips. We also have facility for titration with CPAP and bi-level PAP.
