Sleep Technician Books?

Post by HalfMadDad » Tue Sep 01, 2020 7:37 am

Hi Everyone

I have been receiving fantastic help here. I have learned a lot but I would also like to take the initiative to learn more and possibly even one day help others.

Are there any books you would recommend?

I have never seen a book that would make this sort of evaluation easier.
What I have done is a lot of research document reading and looked at thousands of reports both mine and other people's.
Jason's videos on how to spot arousal breathing are good. I think you already have seen though.
Then just lot of reviewing of lots of flow rate. It took me years of up close viewing and even now it's not always easy to know for sure from the data the machine gives us.
