Fundamentals of Sleep Technology:Endorsed by the American Association of Sleep Technologists

This text provides a thorough understanding of the use of
polysomnography and other technologies in the evaluation and
management of sleep disorders. Coverage includes in-depth reviews of
the neurophysiology and cardiopulmonary aspects of sleep and the
pathophysiology of sleep disorders. Detailed sections on
polysomnography include recording procedures, identifying and scoring
sleep stages and sleep-related events, and report generation.
Chapters discuss therapeutic interventions including positive airway
pressure, supplemental oxygen, surgical and pharmacologic treatments,
and patient education. A section focuses on pediatric sleep disorders
and polysomnography. Also included are chapters on establishing and
managing a sleep center and accrediting a sleep program.
