PSG 100The Science of Sleep and Circadian Rhythms3
(s) Hours: 3 hrs. This course is designed to provide students with the biological basis for clinical sleep and circadian rhythms disorders. Students will be introduced to the history of sleep research, and current theories regarding how and why we sleep. Daily biological rhythms and their relationship to sleep and wake states will also be investigated in this course. This course is intended for students planning on applying to the Polysomnographic Technology, AAS. Prerequisite(s)/Corequisite(s): ENG 1200, BIO 1100, and MAT 9010 or MAT 9B0 or MAT 900 Department: Allied Health, Mental Health and Human Services 559
(s) Hours: 4 hrs. This course will inform students of the neurological basis of sleep. The anatomical brain regions responsible for sleep and waking, as well as endogenous neurochemicals modulating sleep and wake will be discussed. In the second half of this course, the effects of pharmacological compounds on sleep architecture are described. Prerequisite(s): PSG 100 Corequisite(s): PSG 102 and PSG 106 Prerequisite(s)/Corequisite(s): BIO 1200 Department: Allied Health, Mental Health and Human Services
(s) Hours: 4 hrs. In this course students will be taught the basic skills required to perform a clinical sleep study, including electrode placement using the international 10-20 system and how to use respiratory belts, pressure transducers, thermistors, pulse-oximetry, end tidal capnography, and electromyography during a sleep recording. Use of polysomnographic equipment, including amplifier settings, inputting patient data, and setting up basic recording montages, is also covered. Prerequisite(s): PSG 100 Corequisite(s): PSG 101 and PSG 106 Department: Allied Health, Mental Health and Human Services
(s) Hours: 24 hrs. Students will be placed in an active clinical sleep laboratory for the entire semester. One night per week the student will observe a registered polysomnographic technician at work. As the student becomes familiar with the workings of the laboratory, they will begin preparing patients for nighttime sleep studies, and will learn how to monitor patients during the night. Prerequisite(s): PSG 101, PSG 102, PSG 106, and MAT 9010 or MAT 9B0 or MAT 900, and MAT 2010 or MAT 20B0 or MAT 2000, BLS certification, and medical clearance from the internship site Corequisite(s): PSG 104 and PSG 105 Department: Allied Health, Mental Health and Human Services 560
(s) Hours: 4 hrs. Advanced topics for clinical sleep recordings will be covered in this course, including how to perform Multiple Sleep Latency (MSLT) and Maintenance of Wakefulness (MWT) testing and montages for special patient populations such as for seizure, REM behavior disorder, bruxism, and pediatrics. Identification of both physiological and non-physiological electrical artifact commonly seen while performing polysomnography, as well as advanced trouble shooting of technical equipment will also be covered. Prerequisite(s): PSG 101, PSG 102 and PSG 106 Corequisite(s): PSG 103 and PSG 105 Department: Allied Health, Mental Health and Human Services
(s) Hours: 4 hrs. Students will learn to define sleep stages, respiratory events, periodic limb movements, seizures, bruxism, and EKG arrhythmias from electrophysiological data obtain during a polysomnographic recording. At the end of this course, students should be able to properly score a polysomnographic based on the criteria described in the American Academy of Sleep Medicine Manual for the Scoring of Sleep and Associated Events. Prerequisite(s): PSG 101, PSG 102 and PSG 106 Corequisite(s): PSG 103 and PSG 104 Department: Allied Health, Mental Health and Human Services
(s) Hours: 3 hrs. The focus of this course is to give students a complete understanding of the nosology of clinical sleep and circadian rhythms disorders from the perspective of the International Classification of Sleep Disorders Diagnostic & Coding Manual. Upon completion of this course, students should know the diagnostic criteria of all major sleep and circadian rhythm disorders. Prerequisite(s): PSG 100 Corequisite(s): PSG 101 and PSG 102 Department: Allied Health, Mental Health and Human Services 561
(s) Hours: 3 hrs. The physiology of normal respiratory function during sleep, as well as our current understanding of the pathophysiology of obstructive and central apneas during sleep is described. Acute and long-term consequences of sleep apnea, as well as cardiac function and dysfunction with a specific focus on arrhythmias commonly associated with sleep-disordered breathing is investigated. Prerequisite(s): PSG 103, PSG 104, and PSG 105 Corequisite(s): PSG 108 Department: Allied Health, Mental Health and Human Services
(s) Hours: 24 hrs. As in the Clinical Practicum in Sleep Medicine I, students in this course will spend a semester observing and working in a clinical sleep laboratory. During this semester students will focus on learning to titrate patients with positive airway pressure machines including CPAP, BiPAP and ASV. Titration of supplemental oxygen will also be taught. Real time obstructive and central sleep apnea and hypopnea, and EKG arrhythmia detection will be an area of particular focus. Students will also gain experience performing MSLT and MWT testing. Prerequisite(s): PSG 103, PSG 104, PSG 105, and medical clearance from internship site Corequisite(s): PSG 107 Department: Allied Health, Mental Health and Human Services
