Polysomnography
Job Description:
A polysomnographic technologist performs, monitors, and scores sleep studies. People with complaints of snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, restless legs, and other sleep-related problems have overnight testing performed in sleep labs. PSG technicians attach several recording devices to the patient. Technicians then record the data on a computer overnight while the patient sleeps. Sleep technicians often provide therapeutic intervention in cases of severe sleep apnea. They are also responsible for explaining CPAP and other treatments for patients with sleep apnea.
