Prerequisites
No particular prerequisites are required, however, since it is a highly technical subject, with a technological and IT component, it would be useful to have a preparation in mathematics and physics at the level of high school programs.
Learning outcomes
The course aims to teach neurophysiological techniques in the Polysomnography laboratory. It constitutes the first step in the knowledge that a health care practitioner (TNFP) must have in order for the applied technique to be correctly set up.
Course contents
Structure and instrumentation of the polysomnography laboratory
Sensors and transducers for recording electrophysiological signals
The polygraphic parameters
The stages of sleep
Sleep and breath
Polysomnographic tests for the study of vigilance disorders (MSLT - MWT)
Polysomnographic systems
Nocturnal polysomnographic recording
Polysomnographic monitoring for the study of sleep disorders
Pulmonary ventilators (CPAP - BiPAP)
Teaching methods
The course is divided into a series of lectures. The teaching activity is accompanied by a series of exercises / lessons in which students will explore, under the guidance of the tutor, topics covered during the course.
