Preliminary exploration and practice of sleep technician training path based on respiratory therapy undergraduate education
The diagnosis of most sleep disorders relies on high-quality sleep monitoring,which needs to be performed by mature sleep technicians.There is no perfect training system and certification system for sleep technicians in China.At the same time,sleep apnea is the most common sleep disorder,which is mainly treated by positive pressure ventilation and re-quires long-term follow-up.The respiratory therapy undergraduate program is designed to train professionals in the effective monitoring,evaluation,treatment,and rehabilitation of patients with cardiopulmonary insufficiency.Sleep monitoring tech-nology is one of the subspecialties of respiratory therapy,which is involved in undergraduate education.This paper analyzes the advantages of sleep technicians trained by undergraduate respiratory therapy education compared with those trained by clinical medicine,nursing and sleep technician education in saving educational resources and managing sleep apnea,sum-marizes the experience and career prospects of domestic respiratory therapy undergraduate graduates working as sleep tech-nicians.This article provides ideas for the multidisciplinary development of sleep medicine and its talent support.
