Editorial Reviews for Review of Sleep Medicine
|
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.
- Additional coverage brings review book up to date with ASBM test material
- New chapters include:
- Sleep Breathing Disorders
- Cardiovascular Pathophysiology
- Evaluating Epilepsy
- Pearls of Pediatric Sleep
- Cardiopulmonary Disorders
- Neurological Sleep Disorders
- Sleep-Wake Disorders
- Clinical Case Studies II
- Knowing Practice Parameters
- Sleep Journals in Review

Summary: Great study guide
Comment: I took the Boards in 99 and wish I had had something like this. It is a wonderful review of the elements of Sleep Medicine that we don't use every day but that will likely be on the test. The practice tests are especially helpful.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Not sufficient for sleep boards by itself.
Comment: 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"). I had to pick my way through the dense text and take a lot of notes and make my own diagrams, charts, etc. I also had to get a separate neuroanatomy book. The first half is also skimpy on seizures, artifacts, and pediatric sleep medicine. The self-test actually contained quite a bit of information, if you read all the explanations carefully, and the format was similar to the sleep boards, (rote memorization questions, clinical questions). To study for the sleep boards, I definitely recommend using this in addition to Richard Berry's "Sleep Medicine Pearls." I also borrowed the High-Yield Neuroanatomy from the library and reviewed the pertinent sections, (you don't need to go through this entire book). Hope this helps, as there's not much information out there to help people pass the sleep boards.
