SLEEP STUDY PREPARATION AND SET-UP

• Review the patient’s history and verify the medical order.

• Follow sleep center protocols related to the sleep study.

• When patients arrive, verify their identification, collect documents and obtain consent for the study.

• Explain the procedure and orient the patient for either in center or out of center sleep testing.

• Select appropriate equipment and calibrate for testing to determine proper functioning and make adjustments if necessary.

• Apply electrodes and sensors according to accepted published standards.

• Perform routine positive airway pressure (PAP) interface fitting and desentization.

PROCEDURES

• Follow procedural protocols (such as Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT), Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT), parasomnia studies, PAP and oxygen titration, etc.) to ensure collection of appropriate data.

• Perform appropriate physiological calibrations to ensure proper signals and make required adjustments.

• Follow “lights out” procedures to establish and document baseline values (such as body position, oxyhemoglobin saturation, respiratory and heart rates, etc.).

• Perform data acquisition while monitoring study-tracing quality to ensure signals are artifact-free. Identify, correct and document artifact.

• Document routine observations, including sleep stages and clinical events, changes in procedure, and other significant events to facilitate scoring and interpretation of polysomnographic results.

• Implement appropriate interventions (including actions necessary for patient safety and therapeutic intervention such as positive airway pressure, oxygen administration, etc.).

• Follow “lights on” procedures to verify integrity of collected data and complete the data collection process (e.g. repeat the physiological and instrument calibrations and instructs the patient on completing questionnaires, checking for completeness, etc.).

• Assist with scoring sleep/wake stages by applying professionally accepted guidelines.
