Download and read online ebook Clinical Atlas of Polysomnography write by Ravi Gupta. This book was released on 2018-04-17. Clinical Atlas of Polysomnography available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Written for sleep technologists, Clinical Atlas of Polysomnography provides basic information regarding normal sleep, sleep disorders, and electrophysiology that is outside of the scope of the AASM manual (AASM Manual for the Scoring of Sleep and Associated Events). It aims to act as a guide through the fundamental aspects of, for example, types of overnight sleep study, establishing a sleep laboratory, preparing the patient for a sleep evaluation study, placement of electrodes and leads, and the scientific aspects of such placement, i.e., why they are placed at that particular position. This information will be very useful in those parts of the globe where formal training in sleep technology is not yet available. Many further chapters focus on depicting real-time illustrations of sleep data as captured in the sleep laboratory and the scoring of recording data. Information regarding common montages, artifacts, and troubleshooting in the sleep laboratory will facilitate the reader’s journey as a trainee sleep technologist. While scoring sleep recordings, the "When you score the data" histogram can provide a great deal of useful information, and this has been explained in detail in this book. Most importantly, it is prudent to be able to write reports that are both informative and easy to understand by physicians who do not have advanced knowledge of sleep medicine. A chapter has been dedicated to explaining this in detail. Lastly, the authors have provided ready-made forms, questionnaires, and documents that can either be used as they are or with some modifications. This up-to-date and comprehensive volume will be an invaluable guide for technicians and physicians who wish to practice sleep medicine and will be useful for sleep technology and physician training programs. The volume is intended to complement, not be a substitute for, the AASM scoring manual, as many areas that are covered in the manual are not covered here.

Download and read online ebook Atlas of Polysomnography write by James D. Geyer. This book was released on 2012-10-09. Atlas of Polysomnography available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This text/atlas is a unique source of practical information for clinicians who must interpret polysomnography tracings of the neonate, infant, child, and adult. Most atlases show only the images of the various findings; this atlas emphasizes how to actually interpret and report on the polysomnography findings. In the Second Edition, the authors have expanded the captions to include both explanations and helpful hints as well as formal interpretation. The book is organized into sections that allow it to be both comprehensive and practical. This edition has been expanded to cover the breadth and depth of neonatal and pediatric sleep.

Download and read online ebook Atlas of Clinical Polysomnography, Second Edition write by Nic Butkov. This book was released on 2010-12-23. Atlas of Clinical Polysomnography, Second Edition available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Completely revised and updated for 2011, the second edition of the Atlas of Clinical Polysomnography builds on the excellence of the first, presenting an extensive collection of normal and abnormal sleep recording samples with clear supporting textual points and concepts. Utilizing the original 12" by 12" format with foldout pages, each sleep recording sample is meticulously reproduced to preserve every important detail. The new Atlas has been revised to include recent changes and conventions while maintaining a balanced historical and global perspective. The second edition has also been expanded to include the following: * An extensive overview of polysomnography, presented in a manner that is comprehensive, yet easy to understand. * A step-by-step description of electrode and sensor application, with detailed color photographs demonstrating each step of the application process. * A comprehensive overview of the polysomnographic features of sleep disordered breathing, offering a unique and practical perspective regarding clinically-relevant data interpretation. * A systematic review of the new scoring rules, with relevant commentary and discussion. * An in-depth discussion of all current positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment modalities, including CPAP, bi-level PAP, bi-level S/T, adaptive servo-ventilation, and various other PAP options. * An extensive collection of actual-size sleep recording samples with clear and easy-to-understand supporting text.
Atlas of Electroencephalography in Sleep Medicine

Download and read online ebook Atlas of Electroencephalography in Sleep Medicine write by Hrayr P. Attarian. This book was released on 2012-02-11. Atlas of Electroencephalography in Sleep Medicine available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Sleep Medicine is a field that attracts physicians from a variety of clinical backgrounds. As a result, the majority of sleep specialists who interpret sleep studies (PSG) do not have specialized training in neurophysiology and electroencephalography (EEG) interpretation. Given this and the fact that PSGs usually are run at a third of the speed of EEGs and that they usually have a limited array of electrodes, waveforms frequently appear different on the PSGs compared to the EEGs. This can lead to challenges interpreting certain unusual looking activity that may or may not be pathological. This Atlas of Electroencephalograpy in Sleep Medicine is extensively illustrated and provides an array of examples of normal waveforms commonly seen on PSG, in addition to normal variants, epileptiform and non-epileptiform abnormalities and common artifacts. This resource is divided into five main sections with a range of topics and chapters per section. The sections cover Normal Sleep Stages; Normal Variants; Epileptiform Abnormalities; Non-epileptiform Abnormalities; and Artifacts. Each example includes a brief description of each EEG together with its clinical significance, if any. Setting the book apart from others in the field is the following feature: Each EEG discussed consists of three views of the same page -- one at a full EEG montage with 30mm/sec paper speed, the same montage at 10mm/sec (PSG speed) and a third showing the same thing at 10 mm/sec, but with the abbreviated PSG montage. Unique and the first resource of its kind in sleep medicine, the Atlas of Electroencephalograpy in Sleep Medicine will greatly assist those physicians and sleep specialists who read PSGs to identify common and unusual waveforms on EEG as they may appear during a sleep study and serve as a reference for them in that capacity.

Download and read online ebook Fundamentals of Sleep Technology write by Teofilo Lee-Chiong, M.D.. This book was released on 2012-06-01. Fundamentals of Sleep Technology available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Fundamentals of Sleep Technology 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, along with 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. Fundamentals of Sleep Technology is endorsed by American Association of Sleep Technologists (AAST). AAST committees oversaw the development of this book, defining the table of contents, recruiting the Editors, and providing most of the contributors.
