REST 3500. Survey of Polysomnography (1) Introduction to polysomnography as a profession. Course includes an overview of the polysomnogram, sleep disorders as they affect the general population, typical employment in the field, and employment opportunities. Also includes an introduction to the professional organization of sleep and requirements to become a registered polysomnographic technologist (R.PSG.T). Prerequisites: medical terminology, anatomy, and physiology or completion of entry-level respiratory therapy program or CRT., R.RT, or RN. credential. REST 3501. Anatomy and Physiology of Sleep (3) Introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the neurologic, cardiac, and respiratory systems during sleep. Basic anatomy and physiology of wake-sleep cycles are studied, with emphasis on changes that occur during varying stages of sleep and during common sleep disorders. Introduction to the EEG, EOG, EKG, EMG, and other polysomnography data recorders. Prerequisites: medical terminology, anatomy, and physiology or completion of entry-level respiratory therapy program or CRT., R.RT, or R.N. credential. REST 3502. Introduction to Sleep Disorders (2) Course provides an overview of the history of sleep medicine, normal sleep physiology, effects of the sleep-wake stage, sleep disorders and abnormal sleep physiology, and an introduction to polysomnography (including patient interation, sensor and lead placements, and instrumentation). Course also introduces the fundamentals of therapeutic interventions utilized to treat sleep disorders. Prerequisites: medical terminology, anatomy, and physiology or completion of entry-level respiratory therapy program or CRT., R.R.T., or RN. credential. REST 3503. Instrumentation and Computers in Polysomnography (2) Course provides study of equipment, instrumentation, and recording devices utilized in polysomnography. Includes EEG waves, signal pathway and derivation of waves, impedance, sensitivity, time constants, amplifiers, filters, calibration, electrodes, artifacts (both equipment and patient-generated), computer basics, and monitoring devices. Prerequisites: REST 3500 and REST 3502 or medical terminology, human anatomy and human physiology. REST 3504. Laboratory Practice of Instrumentation in Polysomnography (1) Course provides practice and application of operating principles of equipment, instrumentation, and recording devices utilized in polysomnography. Includes EEG waves, signal pathway and derivation of waves, impedance, sensitivity, time constants, amplifiers, filters, calibration, electrodes, artifacts (both equipment and patient- generated), computer basics, and mom'toring devices. Concurrent enrollment with REST 3503. Prerequisites: REST 3502 or medical terminology, human anatomy and human physiology. 267 REST 3505. Therapeutics of Managing Sleep Apnea (2) Course provides current therapies and interventions for treatment of sleep apneas. Interventions include positive airway pressure therapy (nocturnal CPAP and bi-level CPAP), surgery, and dental devices. Patient compliance and outcomes of these treatments are included. Prerequisites: REST 3501 and REST 3502. REST 3506. Advanced Technical Procedures (3) Course provides detailed description and discussion of specific diagnostic procedures in PSG, including multiple sleep latency tests, maintenance of wakefulness test, REM behavior disorder studies, MMPI, movement disorders, TCM, nocturnal seizure disorders, esophageal balloon procedures, and others. Prerequisites: 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 mom'toring, 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. Prerequisites: REST 3501 and REST 3502. REST 3508. Sleep Center Management (1) 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 R.N. 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. Prerequisites: 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. Concurrent enrollment in REST 3503 and REST 3504. Prerequisite: REST 3502. 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.
