Follow sleep center protocols related to the sleep study.

When patient arrives, verifies identification, collects documents, and obtains consent for the study.

Explain the procedure and orient the patient for either in center or Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT).

Provide age-appropriate patient education.

Select appropriate equipment and calibrate for testing to determine proper functioning, and make adjustments, if necessary.

Apply electrodes and sensors according to accepted published standards.

Procedures

Follow procedural protocols (such as Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT), Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT), parasomnia studies, PAP and oxygen titration, etc.) to ensure collection of appropriate data.

Perform appropriate physiological calibrations to ensure proper signals and make required adjustments.
