Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The purpose of this course is to teach a detailed study of the integrated structure and function of the cardiopulmonary and neuromuscular systems as they relate to sleep pathology. The origin and interpretation of the electrical signals generated throughout the body that reflect states of awareness and sleep are introduced. Structural and physiological control of breathing and physiological manifestations of respiratory disorders that affect sleep are discussed
Course Content: • To prepare competent entry-level polysomnographic technologists in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor• (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains
• The certificate completer will also be able to: Display responsible, ethical and professional patient care.
• Employ components of effective communication.
• Apply an understanding of scientific and mathematical concepts to Polysomnography situations.
• Demonstrate the ability to solve problems and think critically
