Acute and Emergent Events in Sleep Disorders / Edition 1

by Sudhansu Chokroverty, Pradeep Sahota

Overview

America is a 24/7 lifestyle. This makes sleep—especially disruptions in sleep—a pressing concern for many Americans. According to the National Sleep Foundation (NSF), approximately 40 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep disorders, and an estimated 20-30 million others experience sleep-related problems. Chronic sleep disorders may also lead to psychiatric disorders such as depression and schizophrenia. Moreover, neurological disorders such as seizures, strokes, Parkinson's, etc, and medical disorders such as asthma or arrhythmia, also affect the quality of sleep Americans receive.

Acute and Emergent Events in Sleep Disorders creates awareness for the management of disorders that occur during sleep. Chokroverty and Sahota bring greater awareness to the treatment of sleep disorders, as well as treatments of neurological, medical, and psychiatric disorders. The book has six different sections covers a wide range of topics dealing with how to treat and manage these events. For example, when to prescribe CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machines for sleep apnea patients' whose risks are doubled for stroke or death, as compared to those without the disorder. Another segment discusses treatment of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), a movement disorder which is amplified when trying to rest. Managing depression, which affects patients' sleep cycles, is analyzed as well as its relation to sleep-deprivation and insomnia. Considerations for sleep disorders in children, such as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) are also presented. This book serves an effective tool for neurologists, clinical neuroscientists, residents, and fellows.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: M. Isabel L. Crisostomo, MD (Rush University Medical Center)
Description: This unique book brings together a variety of experts in sleep medicine to discuss events of critical, acute, and emergent nature in the field.
Purpose: The purpose is to present for the first time a discussion of acute and emergent events in sleep, their evaluation and management.
Audience: This book is designed for practitioners of the various disciplines involved in the field of sleep, including internists, various internal medicine subspecialists, intensivists, surgeons, emergency room physicians, neurologists, psychiatrists, family practitioners, pediatricians, otolaryngologists, dentists, and psychologists. The book also is useful for sleep technologists, EEG technologists, respiratory therapist and intensive care units nurses, as well as any person with an interest in sleep. The majority of the authors are authorities from the Cleveland Clinic.
Features: The 10 sections organize the various emergent issues into those related to sleep disorders, medical disorders, neurologic disorders, and psychiatric disorders, sleep-related emergent issues in the perioperative patient, pediatric sleep emergencies, emergencies related to medical treatment, sleep-related emergencies during polysomnography, sleep in the intensive care unit, and, finally, a discussion of recent therapies — specifically mice models of narcolepsy. Each chapter is organized into introductory paragraphs on the disease process, diagnostic approach, evaluation, and management, followed by pertinent references. A helpful glossary and bibliography appear at the end of the book.
Assessment: As the first of its kind, this book is indeed a worthwhile contribution to the field. It presents useful information on critical issues that occur during sleep or arise from sleep disorders or disorders in sleep that accompany a variety of disorders to a wide audience of clinicians, practitioners, and students of sleep medicine.

Doody's Review Service

"Sleep disorders may be potentially injurious, perilous or even lethal and the editors of Acute and Emergent Events in Sleep Disorders must be credited for pointing out all the critical situations which may occur during sleep or drowsiness as a consequence of sleep related breathing disorders, hypersomnia, insomnia, parasomnias, sleep-related movement disorders or of cardiac, pulmonary, gastro-intestinal, renal and other disorders. This book opens a new window on sleep disorders medicine. It is an incentive to broaden the range of training of sleep technicians and physicians and to foresee the management of a potential emergency in the sleep disorders center. It should certainly be found on the shelf of every sleep unit and be regularly referred to."

- Michel Billiard MD, Honorary Professor of Neurology, Department of Neurology, Gui de Chauliac Hospital, Montpellier, France

"This volume provides a valuable and innovative resource on...different issues in relation to the diagnosis or the management of sleep disorders. Topics...include not only emergent events related to different specific sleep disorders (sleep apnea, narcolepsy, insomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, parasomnia and restless legs syndrome), but also issues occurring during sleep related to medical, neurological, and psychiatric disorders. Specific sections on sleep emergencies in peri-operative patients, in children and during overnight polysomnography are also addressed...The contributors to this book include many of the world's leading sleep expert that are offering definitive treatment and patient management guidelines for all physicians, residents, and fellows."

- Luigi Ferini-Strambi, MD, PhD, Associate Professor, Director, Sleep Disorders Center, Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele, Milan, Italy

"Internists will be attracted to the presentations in Acute and Emergent Events in Sleep Disorders, but sleep specialists will likely pay particular attention to the chapter on acute and emergent events occurring during polysomnography. The book provides a large amount of up-to-date information for sleep specialists, pediatricians, family practitioners, internists, and others in an easy-to-read format." — JAMA
