(EEG) Electroencephalogram
An EEG (Electroencephalogram) records the electrical activity of the brain. During an EEG, small metal discs are attached to the patient’s scalp with an adhesive. These electrodes pick up the electrical activity of the brain. An EEG test is totally painless and usually takes about 1 ½ hours.
An EEG is a diagnostic tool used to evaluate:
- Seizure disorders
- Metabolic disorders, such as liver disorders or kidney dysfunction
- Stroke
- Infections of the central nervous system
- Degenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's Disease or Parkinson's Disease
- Head trauma
- Headaches
- Brain tumors
- Brain death

Sleep Center
Sleep is vital for whole body health, just like breathing or eating. Untreated sleep disorders can contribute to health problems, some of which may be life threatening. At Newman Regional Health, our Sleep Disorders Center is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and staffed by experienced sleep specialists for the prompt diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders.
Our Sleep Disorders Center is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Our Sleep Disorders Center is fully-equipped with a home-like private bedroom to monitor patients during sleep. A caring trained sleep technologist monitors the patient during the all-night sleep study (polysomnogram). A physician analyzes the results, patient history, and lab tests to make a diagnosis and formulate a treatment plan.
Our sleep specialists identify and treat sleep disorders. One such common disorder, sleep apnea is a potentially life threatening breathing problem that occurs during sleep. Symptoms of sleep apnea include:
- Loud irregular snoring
- Gasps for breath during sleep
- Sudden body movements
- Excessive sweating
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Morning headaches
- High blood pressure
- Impotence
- Personality changes
Learn more about sleep disorders, including sleep apnea at Newman Regional Health's Patient Education Library.
Talk to your doctor if you suspect that you or a loved one has a sleep apnea or a sleep disorder. Call the Cardiopulmonary Services Department at 620-343-6800, extension 1314 to schedule an appointment at the Sleep Disorders Center at Newman Regional Health in Emporia, Kansas.

Respiratory Care
Respiratory therapists work to evaluate, treat, and care for people with breathing disorders. They perform procedures that provide both diagnosis and treatment.
Diagnosis
- Assessing a person’s overall cardiopulmonary condition includes medical history, learning needs, and physical, social, and nutritional status.
- Obtaining and analyzing sputum and breath specimens. They also take blood specimens and analyze them to determine levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other gases.
- Interpreting the data obtained from these specimens.
- Measuring the capacity of a person’s lungs to determine if there is impaired function.
Treatment
- Operating and maintaining various types of equipment to administer oxygen or to assist with breathing.
- Using mechanical ventilation for treating those who cannot breathe adequately on their own.
- Monitoring and managing therapy that will help a patient recover lung function.
- Administering medications in aerosol form to help alleviate breathing problems and to help prevent respiratory infections.
- Monitoring equipment and patient responses to therapy.
- Maintaining a patient’s artificial airway, one that may be in place to help the patient who can’t breathe through normal means.
