POLYSOMNOGRAPHY ROOM

This special room is where the supervisor and the psychiatrist conduct sleep studies. This type of electroencephalogram is normally performed to diagnose sleep disorders and help determine the best treatment. However, at Santa Felicia, the treatment includes polysomnography. Every two weeks, a child rests in this room to monitor the effectiveness of the new treatment and medication. It’s a very unusual procedure that even makes psychiatrist Eligio raise an eyebrow, but it’s working.
