Key concepts covered include:

By the end of this course, you will be able to understand:

  • The basics of OSA, sleep tests, and CPAP (Continous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy. The idea is to make one confident enough to start a Sleep lab and manage patients with OSA with limited resources.
  • The clinical questionnaire has been standardized, the tests are easy to do and interpret and the devices have become very smart and handy. Just an hour of this tutorial is all that you might need for a start.

What you'll learn

Insomnia and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) are the two most common sleep disorders. Insomnia is diagnosed based on history and the management is primarily by counseling and by medicines. read more »»

Whereas for OSA, we also need a sleep (Polysomnography) test and the gold standard for management is device-based. The earlier sleep tests were cumbersome and required demanding logistics. This has been eased by the growth of portable home-based sleep tests and tremendous advances in the devices used for managing OSA. Not only have we understood about the sleep disturbances caused by OSA, but we are also learning how it leads to or worsens metabolic disorders.
