Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Here's an ideal refresher on the core information in the field of sleep medicine. It is a comprehensive review-and-test workbook for preparation of the Sleep Board exam that emphasizes the highlights of sleep medicine and recaps major points with figures, tables, and lists to guide readers. The second half is a mock examination for practice, which includes many polysomnogram segments and multiple epochs. Also included are 500 exam questions, a quick reference to drug effects relating to sleep medicine, and an appendix on sleep scoring basics.

  • Enables the user to practice for the exam with the same type of questions used in the exam itself.
  • Provides the busy clinician a succinct summary of all aspects of working up the sleep disordered patient
  • Offers very comprehensive and thorough answers and rationals so the user will know the why and how to think logically about the problem.

    • Sleep Breathing Disorders
    • Cardiovascular Pathophysiology
    • Evaluating Epilepsy

I just took the Sleep Medicine Boards in Chicago and thought I'd share my opinion. This book is divided into two halves: the first half is text about neuroscience and other sleep topics; the second half is a self-test section. I found the first half to contain useful information for the boards, but the material was poorly written as dense prose and not organized the best way - there were very few diagrams, charts, and pictures. (You would expect more charts, diagrams, etc. for a "Review Book"). ... Read More
