Polysomnography
For Technicians
Realizing the demand for professionally trained technicians
in sleep medicine, we offer “Polysomnography for Technicians”.
These courses include two intensive days of classroom education
and three days of “hands-on” clinical hours with
our technical staff. At the conclusion of the course, a short written test and a clinical electrode application
test is administered to complete the program and receive a
Certificate of Completion. Our goal is that the trainee will
be able to apply all electrodes and ancillary equipment and
have a basic knowledge of Polysomnography.
Course Objectives:
1.) Overview of Normal & Abnormal Sleep
2.) Will complete BLS-CPR Requirements-PSG
3.) Theory and Application of CPAP and Bilevel-PSG
4.) Basics of Neuroanatomy and Respiratory Physiology
5.) Theory and Application of Electrodes and Ancillary Equipment
Clinical Record
Review and Scoring
Designed for the advanced technician, this workshop will discuss
all pertinent scoring rules and guidelines for sleep staging,
EKG arrhythmias, limb movements, and respiratory events. Individuals
will begin scoring recordings with technical faculty. Score
comparison reports will be generated to offer objective feedback.
Technical faculty will also provide feedback in real-time
as well as in written form after the recording has been scored
in its entirety. You must be working in the field of Polysomnography
for at least six months before taking this course. This course
will span two days.
Course Objectives:
1.) Overview of Sleep Staging, Scoring Limb Movements, and
Scoring Respiratory Events
2.) Overview of sleep recording methodology
3.) Scoring and interpretation of the abnormal polysomnography
4.) Polysomnogram recording artifacts
5.) Scoring and interpretation of the MSLT/MWT
