This entry-level module is designed to provide students with a
comprehensive foundation in the performance of a diagnostic SLEEP
STUDY. At the completion of the COURSE, students will be able to
perform high quality diagnostic SLEEP STUDIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
WORLD STANDARD (American Academy of SLEEP MEDICINE V2.2).This course
will cover the common diagnostic study types, application of
electrodes, hardware and software operation, troubleshooting, as well
as the monitoring of patients undergoing testing. Students will
undertake classes exploring normal sleep and normal physiology during
sleep and progress to coverage of common abnormalities seen during
sleep, including brain function (EEG) abnormalities, respiratory
problems (sleep-disordered breathing), cardiac arrhythmias and
movement disorders.
Students will gain experience with two polysomnography systems used
widely throughout Australia and internationally, in the recording and
analysis of sleep data:
· Compumedic Grael 2
· Philips Respironics G3
Learning material will be presented via lectures/tutorials and
overnight practical sessions. Upon conclusion of the module, students
will be required to confidently and efficiently provide full
diagnostic Polysomnography (PSG) service for two patients per night.
Successful completion of this module will enhance students'
employability in private and public sleep laboratories/clinics and
sleep research centres.
