The Fundamentals
of Sleep Technology course is designed
for technologists who desire a strong, comprehensive
background as they enter the field of sleep
medicine technology. Entry-level students
completing the course will be able to work
in a clinical environment with minimal orientation
while undergoing on-the-job training. This
strong background will enable the technologist
to be well positioned to succeed as a Polysomnographic
trainee. Course content includes:
• History of sleep medicine • Chronobiology
• Poly-anatomy and neurophysiology
• EEG pattern recognition •
Sleep staging and associated EEG patterns
• Sleep architecture • Sleep
Disorders overview: recognition, symptoms,
PSG findings and treatment modalities
• Patient care, patient safety and patient
assessment • Medical ethics
• Patient interviewing techniques, taking
a Medical history and medical chart review
• Vital signs for polysomnography
• Sleep laboratory questionnaires
• Patient assessment • Infection
control • Applied electronics and
instrumentation • The 10-20 system
of electrode placement • Ancillary
equipment interface, calibration and placement
• Impedance • Polygraph calibration
• Physiological calibration •
Patient monitoring and documentation •
CPAP, Bilevel and non-invasive ventilation
• Oxygen titration • Sleep
Stage scoring • Respiratory scoring
• Limb movement scoring •
Arousal scoring • Seizure recognition
• ECG arrhytmias • Artifact
recognition and resolution • Hands-on
clinicals
