A guide to the identification, diagnosis, and treatment of sleep disorders, this resource addresses sleep medicine and clinically relevant information for sleep disorder management. With tables that include diagnostic algorithms and treatment approaches, it aids clinicians in diagnosis and treatment, obtaining sleep history, analyzing physical exam findings, ordering blood work and testing, and using new treatment modalities and follow-up regimens.
Topics:
• sleep diagnostic tests: nocturnal polysomnography, multiple sleep latency testing, maintenance of wakefulness testing, actigraphy, and more
• sleep-disordered breathing: clinical features, epidemiology, genetics, pathophysiology, and diagnosis
• differential diagnosis for nocturnal events
• sleep in special populations: children, women, the elderly, and those with psychiatric illness
• insomnia, restless legs syndrome, narcolepsy, sleep apnea, and irregular sleep-wake patterns
