Sleep Medicine is a rapidly growing and changing field. Experienced sleep medicine clinicians and educators Richard B. Berry, MD, Mary H. Wagner, MD, and Scott Ryals, MD, present the completely revised, fourth edition of Sleep Medicine Pearls featuring >150 cases that review key elements in the evaluation and management of a wide variety of sleep disorders. The cases are preceded by short fundamentals chapters that present enough basic information so that a physician new to sleep medicine can start reading page 1 and quickly learn the essential information needed to care for patients with sleep disorders. A concise, practical format makes this an ideal resource for sleep medicine physicians in active practice, sleep fellows learning sleep medicine, and physicians studying for the sleep boards.
- Practical, case-based information to effectively interpret sleep studies (polysomnography, home sleep testing, multiple sleep latency testing), sleep logs, and actigraphy
- Clear visual guidance with numerous figures and sleep tracings illustrating important concepts that teach how to recognize important patterns needed to diagnose sleep disorders
- Short, templated chapters—ideal for use by busy physicians or those studying for the boards; a combination of brief didactic material followed by case-based examples illustrates major points
Practicing sleep clinicians; sleep medicine residents and fellows (for board prep)
