Demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to recognize and provide age specific care in the assessment and treatment of pediatric, adolescent, adult, and geriatric patients. Follow procedural protocols for various patient testing such as PAP and oxygen titration, Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT), Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT), parasomnia studies (with complete EEG 10/20 hookup), etc. to ensure collection of appropriate data. Performs the duties defined for a sleep technician. Credentialed and participating in continued education in the field of sleep technology through the AASM/BRPT for Registered Polysomnographic Technologist (RPSGT, March 1, 2013) and through the ABSM for Registered Sleep Technologist (RST, September 10, 2012).

Explain the procedure and orient patient for in center sleep testing. Select appropriate equipment and calibrate for testing to determine proper functioning, making adjustments when necessary. Apply electrodes and sensors according to accepted published standards. Perform routine positive airway pressure (PAP) interface fitting and desentization prior to titration studies.Follow procedural protocols for various sleep studies such as PAP and oxygen titration, Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT), Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT), parasomnia studies (complete EEG 10/20 hookup), etc. to ensure collection of appropriate testing data.Perform physiological calibrations to ensure proper signals and make required adjustments. Follow “lights out” procedures to establish and document baseline values. Perform data acquisition while ensuring signals are artifact-free. Identify, correct and document artifact. Document study observations, including sleep stages, clinical events and changes in procedure. Implement appropriate interventions (BOTH therapeutic and for patient safety). Follow “lights on” procedures to verify integrity of collected data and complete the data collection process (e.g. repeat the physiological and instrument calibrations). Score sleep/wake stages by applying professionally accepted guidelines. Score clinical events (such as respiratory events, cardiac events, limb movements, arousals, etc.) utilizing AASM standards. Generate accurate reports by tabulating sleep/wake and clinical event data. Show less
