This book provides an overview of sleep and sleep disorders for
practicing clinicians. Sleep disorders represent a major portion of
the chief complaints seen by pulmonologists and other clinicians.
Patients with sleep-related conditions often present with
non-specific complaints that require a broad and detailed knowledge
of the wide range of sleep disorders and their consequences. This
concise, evidence-based review of sleep medicine offers a guide to
pulmonologists, primary care physicians, and all clinicians
involved in caring for patients with sleep disorders. Providing a
focused, scientific basis for the effects of sleep on human
physiology, especially cardiac and respiratory physiology, chapters
also outline a differential diagnosis for common sleep complaints
and an evidence-based approach to diagnosis and management. This
includes a review of the current standards of practice and of
emerging technology and unresolved issues awaiting further
research. In all, this book provides a clear diagnostic and
management program for all the different sleep disorders and
includes key points and summaries. This new edition expands the
scope of the previous to include additional sleep disorders and the
most affected populations. Six new chapters are added on health
disparities in sleep medicine, models of care for patients with
sleep disorders/care coordination, sleep disordered breathing in
pediatric populations, sleep in hospitalized patients, sleep in
pregnancy, and sleep in older patients. Essentials of Sleep
Medicine is an invaluable resource for physicians, clinical
psychologists, respiratory care practitioners, polysomnographic
technologists, graduate students, clinical researchers, and other
health professionals seeking an in-depth review of sleep medicine.
