Training activity information
Details
Interpret and annotate sleep tests, and produce a draft sleep reports based on:
- PSG
- MSLT following the previous night’s PSG
Type
Developmental training activity (DTA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee.
Reflection on the activity at one or more time points after the event including learning from the activity and/or areas of the trainees practice for development.
An action plan to implement learning and/or to address skills or knowledge gaps identified.
Considerations
- Patient history
- Clinical context
- Features of awake and asleep EEG
- Pattern recognition and normal variants
- Abnormal patterns
- Artefacts
- Sleep stages according to international guidelines
- Recognition of respiratory events, periodic limb movements, and other sleep events
- Criteria for sleep disorder diagnosis and differential diagnosis with neurological conditions
- Classification
- Documentation and record keeping
- Local, national and international guidelines
- Polygraphy
