4.0 out of 5 stars Sleep Technology, July 7, 2008
By Kent Savage (Lexington, KY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Very technologist-oriented book that gives a good background of the science behind polysomnography. Neurophysiology sections are written in a somewhat disorganzied fashion but this is not uncommon in polysomnography texts available on the market. A good neurophysiology reference while digesting this book's sections on the same would be recommended.

Needs to be updated with the 2008 AASM scoring guidelines but otherwise a great book that should be in the library of technologists / respiratory therapists involved with polysomnography or sleep medicine.

I look forward to a next edition with updated 2008 AASM guidelines!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, October 18, 2009
By Polysom Student (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
If you're accustomed to using collegiate level science text books, this text is likely to disappoint. The quality of information contained within is suitable to the subject matter; however information that naturally lends itself to supportive organization is instead presented in unbroken, didactic content blocks. For ex, cardiac functioning and the cardiac cycle is typically broken down into concise 5 - 6 specific phases in most texts, illustrated to aid comprehension. This text instead presents the information in an unbroken 1000 word paragraph with little insight into sequence and phase delineation. It offers no guiding illustrations.

Because this text is developed by the AAST which governs and accredits sleep medicine professionals, students are essentially captive to this (literally & figuratively) colorless text. However, there are several excellent general purpose college level text such as Martini's excellent Anatomy & Physiology that can serve as supplemental resources to aid the student of Polysomnography. During the next major revision edition, the authors would do well to add a nurse and/or writer to fill in significant missing content.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fundamentals of Sleep Technology--(pink book), September 15, 2008
This textbook is very informative and pertinent to students and professionals alike who are involved in sleep medicine. The content makes sense and is not overburdened with scientific jargon. Thus, it gives a straightforward and detailed overview of what sleep technology is about today.
