• Respiratory Care Practitioners and Sleep Medicine: Opportunities and Challenges.
• History of Sleep Medicine & Technology.
•       More Than a Sleep Study.
•       Opportunities in Sleep Medicine & Technology.
• Sleep disorders medicine is a new field. Clinical sleep studies were still a rare inclusion in medical diagnostics in 1972 when Guilleminault came to the Stanford University Sleep Center and began adding respiratory and cardiac sensors to sleep studies. In 1974, Holland (also at the Stanford University Sleep Center) named the new generation of sleep studies polysomnography, but it was not until 1976 that daytime and nighttime sleepiness were recognized as a continuum. ... Sleep medicine technology, encompassing polysomnography, has grown into a highly specialized and complex allied health field. Opportunities in sleep medicine technology are exhibiting a steep growth curve largely due to the public education efforts of the National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research that has alerted the nation to the hazards of sleepiness. At present, many patients seen in clinical sleep centers come with an admitting diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and are frequently initially treated with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Although the terms apnea and CPAP are familiar to the respiratory care practitioner (RCP), their application in clinical sleep medicine differs from their application in the intubated acute care patient. ... However, additional education and training are essential for the RCP to function safely and effectively in sleep medicine--to appreciate distinctions among the 77 identified sleep disorders and to effectively and appropriately apply noninvasive CPAP and bi-level ventilation in the setting of a clinical sleep center or any of the other venues addressing the care of the patient with sleep-disordered breathing. ...
• We may believe that we have intimate familiarity with our own and family members' sleep. This familiarity challenges the sleep medicine and sleep technology community to dispel the underestimation of the complexity of skill required to study a sleeping patient. ...
• In this paper, I focus on the complexity of skills required to function as a polysomnographic technologist, looking at the past, present, and future growth in the field of sleep medicine and technology, the opportunities being created, and the preparedness of the practicing and new graduate RCP to enter this growing allied health field. ...
• I gathered statistics on the growth of sleep medicine and polysomnographic technology from both literature searches and professional organizations associated with sleep disorders medicine and technology. Information was obtained through discussion with colleagues performing polysomnography or associated skills in traditional sleep centers and alternative settings, such as home health care, acute care, physician offices, and nursing facilities. Educators in sleep medicine and technology contributed information on the background of those seeking training in the field, and manufacturers' representatives provided a view of the environments in which sleep technology is being sought and sold. ...

• The ABSM is not affiliated with the American Board of Medical Specialties but has, as a long-term goal, the hope to establish itself as a subspecialty board of sleep medicine under its auspices.
• The need for the ABSM arose from increasing recognition and awareness of the medical importance of sleep and sleep disorders in medicine. Although it was known for centuries that sleep could affect such disorders as epilepsy and asthma, the discovery of REM sleep, the discoveries of sleep apnea and periodic limb movements of sleep, and the recognition that sleep disorders could have serious medical consequences led to the development in the 1970s of clinics and laboratories devoted to the study of sleep and sleep disorders.
• As more clinicians focused their efforts on diagnosis and management of sleep disorders, it became clear that persons with special knowledge in sleep medicine should be identified and recognized. The Examination Committee of the Association of Sleep Disorders Centers (now the American Academy of Sleep Medicine), was established in 1978 and administered the sleep medicine examination until 1990. In 1989, the AASM voted to create an independent entity and in 1991, the American Board of Sleep Medicine (ABSM) was incorporated and assumed all the activities and responsibilities of the former Examination Committee. The 11 directors of the American Board of Sleep Medicine are elected for three-year terms. ...
• Five assumptions about sleep medicine underlie the certification process of the ABSM:.
• Sleep medicine is a clinical specialty with a focus on clinical problems that require accurate diagnosis and treatment.
• The knowledge base of sleep medicine is derived from many disciplines including neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, respiratory physiology, pharmacology, psychology, psychiatry, neurology, general internal medicine, pulmonary medicine, and pediatrics as well as others.
• Diagnosis of sleep disorders is based on clinical acumen, scientific knowledge, and appropriately applied laboratory studies.
• Treatment of sleep disorders is based on accurate diagnosis.
• Mastery of specific clinical skills and procedures is essential for the practice of sleep medicine.

• What is Sleep Apnea?.
• Sleep Apnea is a condition in which a person stops breathing during sleep. ... Today, we know that there are two forms of Sleep Apnea.
• A Central Apnea is a situation in which the stimulation from the Central Nervous System to the muscles of respiration is interrupted for a period of time and is considered serious when these periods last longer than ten seconds and result in disruption of sleep. Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a situation, which results from a physiologic change that occurs in everyone, namely decreased muscle tone. This phenomenon is due to the decreased electrical output from the central nervous system that occurs at sleep onset.
• At sleep onset the muscles become floppy and begin to collapse into the airway. ...
• What is a Sleep Test?.
• A sleep test is performed in a controlled environment where a person will come to spend at least ten hours of the day or night, depending upon his or her normal sleep schedule. He or she is asked to stay in a quiet, dark bedroom with electrodes attached to different areas of the body so that the technicians can monitor what happens during sleep. The standard sleep test requires that the patient have electrodes attached to top and rear of the head to determine the level of consciousness he or she is in at all times during the study. ...
• A person's sleep can also be disturbed by regular movement of the arms and legs so electrodes are placed on each arm and leg to pick up the amount of movement that occurs in those areas, too.
• Physicians, who are Sleep Specialists, can learn a great deal about a patient's medical condition during this test. In over fifty percent of the patients tested nation wide, a Sleep Specialist can determine a course of therapy for the patient after one night of testing. At Staten Island University Hospital's Institute of Sleep Medicine, seventy-five percent of the patients have a course of therapy offered to them after one night of testing.
• In addition to the standard sleep test, most sleep labs will offer "Nap Studies" or Multiple Sleep Latency Tests, too. This is a study performed immediately after a full night sleep study in which the patient slept without interruption from apnea or movement of the extremities of the body. ...
