The All-Night Sleep Recording video cassette program is an ideal introduction to polysomnography for both physicians and technologists. This program clearly demonstrates the elements of a quality sleep recording, while thoroughly explaining the process of obtaining this quality. The video begins with a detailed overview of the patient bio-calibration procedures, followed by sleep onset and the progression of sleep stages, EEG arousals and recording artifacts.
Major emphasis is placed on artifact recognition, troubleshooting and artifact correction.
An accompanying manual also serves as an introduction to sleep stage scoring, arousal identification and artifact recognition. Based on the highest standards of clinical practice, this program is an essential quality assurance tool for physicians, technologists and sleep laboratory managers.
