Description
Laboratory Sleep Medicine: Fundamentals of Sleep Technology is the second of the Fundamentals of Sleep Technology books. It discusses balancing the fundamentals of sleep medicine with the newest innovations in the lab. High priority is given to practices that must be followed in sleep labs to guarantee the safety of patients and workers. To make information straightforward and easy to grasp, key events in each epoch of polysomnography are showcased. This serves to walk sleep professionals cogently through the history of sleep technology advancement. Laboratory Sleep Medicine: Fundamentals of Sleep Technology is keenly aware that manual titration with PAP is the gold standard treatment for sleep apnea. However, certain patients may require oxygen treatment, which is also covered in depth. In addition, case vignettes illustrate the development of a relevant report using the following: data from a sleep diary, actigraphy, and polysomnography. How to do sleep tests in unusual situations (such as at-home sleep apnea testing and testing in an intensive care unit) are also covered.
