#110: Reap the Sleep, Installment #4
Email This Show To A Colleague
Insights into sleep, and sleep disorders - whether lack of, excessive or disturbed sleep. Part 2 of a 4-part series.
On this show: We continue our interviews with Sleep Medicine experts Dr. Michael Littner and Dr. Jay Puangco. Cardiologists regularly use home testing for arrhythmia detection on a relatively large scale. Is it time for neurologists and other physicians to do likewise for testing sleep apnea? If Medicare completes the final approval of payment for home testing for sleep apnea, this may provide access (to this extremely important testing) to a huge number of patients. But do you think you can become a sleep apnea expert - employing home apnea testing for your patients - after just a weekend certification course? Think again!
Upcoming 2 shows: On Part 3 and 4 (next two weeks) we’ll complete our 3 interviews with Dr. Littner and Dr. Puangco, and hear insights from sleep apnea patient Mr. Sam Frank for whom proper diagnosis and treatment of his OSA - especially the use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) during sleep - has dramatically changed his life for the better.
