Neurology Primer: Sleep in Healthcare

Presented by: Dr. Roy Wilkins

Sleep studies are part of a normal everyday primary care and specialty practice such as neurology. We will cover in detail the use and interpretation of sleep studies to address various disorders of sleep in both a primary care practice and a specialty practice such as sports medicine, orthopedics, neurology, pediatrics, internal disorders, etc, and its relationship to sleep. 

Sleep is an integral part of staying healthy.  A third of our lives are spent in sleep.  We will cover normal sleep from infancy to old age.  Why we need sleep its purpose and function.  We will explore what happens when normal sleep is interrupted its effects on the systems of the body such as neurodegenerative disease of the nervous system, cardiovascular, endocrine system, motor systems, pain control systems, gastrointestinal system, etc, and the effects on our work, play, social interaction, and its effect in society.   You’ll be taught to recognize and examine patients with sleep disorders.  You’ll be instructed on sleep disorder breathing, its types, and treatment.  You’ll be instructed on circadian rhythm disorders how to recognize them and treatment options.  You’ll be taught and introduced to parasomnias.  Upon completion of this course, you will be able to immediately incorporate sleep studies into your practice.  You’ll know how and when to order the various types of sleep studies, HST, PSG, MSLT, MWT, PAPNAP, and how to interpret the results and understand the data found on a sleep study and how to integrate that into your normal everyday practice.
