Basics of Sleep Technology: Fundamentals of Sleep Technology underscores that sleep medicine and technology are dynamic and rapidly growing medical specialties. One must stay up with the newest innovations in the area, but not at the price of the fundamentals. This book includes these, as well as providing a solid background for cutting-edge advances in sleep medicine, diagnostics, monitoring, and therapeutics. Basics of Sleep Technology: Fundamentals of Sleep Technology covers the critical elements of sleep and sleep technologies. It gives a thorough understanding of sleep physiology, neurophysiological concepts, the principles of operation of the numerous equipment types used to diagnosis sleep disorders, and contemporary methodologies for diagnosing sleep disorders. A sleep professional must understand the fundamentals of signal creation, acquisition principles, and data grading from a sleep diary, actigraphy, and polysomnography. This book provides all of this and more to all wishing to develop a comprehensive understanding of sleep.Provides the latest, up-to-date knowledge regarding sleep medicine: diagnosis and treatment, sleep technology and monitoringPresents an authoritative reference resource for specialists and others facing unexpected challenges in the field of sleep medicineAppeals to readers from the most seasoned sleep researcher, to those just beginning their advanced training

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.Provides the latest, most up-to-date knowledge regarding sleep medicine: diagnosis and treatment, and sleep technology and monitoringOffers an authoritative reference resource for specialists in the medical and technical fields of sleep medicine regarding patient and healthcare worker safetyTraces the history of polysomnography from its earliest days to the present, offering readers a comprehensive timeline of their discipline

Clinical Sleep Medicine and Laboratory Management: Fundamentals of Sleep Technology has two primary aims. The first is to discuss sleep disorders, behavioural science topics as they apply to sleep technology, and other therapies for which a sleep technologist can collaborate with a sleep physician. The second is to explicate the business and managerial aspects of a sleep laboratory, with a view towards sleep technologists contributing to the continuation of patient services without profit concerns. These are two equally necessary areas of running a sleep laboratory, but too often one is overlooked in favor of the other. Specifically, Clinical Sleep Medicine and Laboratory Management: Fundamentals of Sleep Technology offers sleep laboratory managers information on indispensable topics such as minimum standards for a sleep laboratory, infection control practices in the sleep laboratory, electrical safety in the sleep laboratory, advocacy for the importance of sleep and sleep disorders, and financial management of the sleep laboratory. There has yet to be a book which fully encapsulates both the clinical aspects of a sleep laboratory, as well as the duty of keeping that laboratory fiscally sound and operational. This is that book.Discusses managerial and business aspects of the sleep laboratory so that sleep technologists can focus on providing services and optimal patient careOffers an authoritative treatment resource for specialists who work in the medical and technical fields of sleep medicineProvides the latest, up-to-date research regarding sleep medicine: diagnosis and treatment, and sleep technology and monitoring
