Professor Zach Murphy will be presenting on Pulmonary Sleep Disorders. We will be going into detail on the following main objectives:

1. Definition and Classification of Pulmonary Sleep Disorders

- Gain an in-depth understanding of what Pulmonary Sleep Disorders encompass, including conditions like sleep apnea and obesity hypoventilation syndrome.

- Learn the classifications based on pathophysiology, such as central sleep apnea, obstructive sleep apnea, and hypoventilation disorders.

2. Pathophysiology and Etiologies

- Delve into the underlying mechanisms that contribute to pulmonary sleep disorders, from anatomical abnormalities and neuromuscular dysfunction to hormonal imbalances.

- Grasp how the pathophysiology correlates with the clinical manifestations of each sleep disorder.

3. Clinical Manifestations and Presentation

- Recognize common signs and symptoms such as snoring, daytime sleepiness, insomnia, and morning headaches.

- Discern the severity indicators, including excessive daytime sleepiness, cognitive impairment, and observed episodes of interrupted breathing during sleep.

4. Diagnostic Criteria and Tools

- Master the diagnostic modalities available, including polysomnography, multiple sleep latency tests, and home-based tests.

- Familiarize yourself with the latest diagnostic criteria as outlined by authoritative organizations like the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

5. Initial Management Strategies

- Examine evidence-based approaches for symptom management, including lifestyle modifications and CPAP therapy.

- Learn the role of supportive treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and why they are vital.

6. Definitive Management Approaches

- Explore advanced treatment options, from pharmacological interventions like modafinil for narcolepsy to surgical interventions for obstructive sleep apnea.

- Understand the risks and benefits of these approaches, supported by the latest medical guidelines and research.

7. Complications and Prognosis

- Discuss potential complications such as cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndromes, and decreased quality of life if left untreated.

- Explore prognostic factors like treatment compliance, disease severity, and associated comorbidities.
