Prerequisite: REST 3502 and REST 3503. REST 3507 - Event Recognition and Polysomnography Scoring (3) Course provides advanced study of sleep stages and recognition of EEG characteristics of each stage. Multi-channel recording of breathing events, leg movements, ocular movements, cardiac and oxygenation monitoring, parasomnias, and interictal and ictal epileptic events are also presented. Course will include review and scoring of 12-hour polysomnography records to determine the overall sleep score. Prerequisite: REST 3501 and REST 3502. REST 3508 - Sleep Center Management (l) Course is designed to prepare students for sleep center management in hospitals and independent facilities. Course includes sleep laboratory requirements for accreditation, personnel requirements and training, PSG study documentation, technician manuals, quality assurance, policies and procedures, and lab protocols. REST 3500 or credentialed as CRT., RRT., or RN REST 3509 - Cases in Sleep Medicine (2) Course will include physician presentations or case studies of patients with a variety of sleep disorders. Case-based learning is applied in the context of patient presentation and initial interview and diagnostic findings, determination of appropriate sleep medicine studies, interpretation of patient findings, recommendation for patient therapy, and follow-up of patient compliance and outcome(s) of therapeutic intervention. Prerequisite: REST 3502 and REST 3505. REST 3510 - Clinical Practice I in Polysomnography (2) Introduction to the sleep laboratory and the set-up, monitoring, and therapeutic interventions associated with polysomnography. Students will be oriented to patient interviewing and selection, OSHA standards, sleep laboratory standards, and confidentiality. Competency is demonstrated in patient set-up, producing a reliable PSG, recognizing artifact, and basic therapeutic interventions for common sleep disorders. Prerequisite: REST 3502. Concurrent enrollment in REST 3503 and REST 3504. REST 3511 - Clinical Practice II in Polysomnography (2) Case-based clinical applications course. Course requires competency in complete patient management (patient referral and interview, physician consult, patient study[ies], therapeutic intervention and follow-up of patient compliance). Students will develop the patient history and physical, perform the study, score the patient record, interpret the report, apply therapy, and follow-up patient compliance.
