The new scenarios in Sleep Medicine lead us to implement up to date programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate current advances into their daily practice"

There is an increasing multidisciplinary interest in Sleep Medicine, a rapidly growing discipline. Whether approached from a global point of view or from "partial specialisation" depending on the original field of medicine or specific area of interest, it is always vital to have rigorous and up-to-date generic knowledge in all areas. This postgraduate diploma more than fulfills this objective from an eminently practical point of view. Its approach sets it apart from many other courses on this very transverse discipline, which are often criticised for being too "descriptive" and "theoretical", and therefore not entirely useful in resolving many situations that arise in clinical management.

With the clear objective of combining scientific evidence and practical utility, this postgraduate diploma in Respiratory Disorders during Sleep has a broad, up to date and unbeatable program prepared by a varied team of professional experts (physicians, psychologists, biologists, engineers...), who bring their proven experience in the form of explanations and practical examples, entertaining but clarifying, and abundant graphic and audiovisual support, absolutely essential in the teaching of this thriving discipline.

In addition, this postgraduate diploma has the advantage of being developed in a 100% online format, so students will be in charge of deciding when and where to study, distributing their study hours autonomously, so that they can combine their training time with the rest of their daily obligations.

We offer you a complete postgraduate diploma for you to develop in the field of Respiratory Disorders during Sleep. Think no more and enrol with us”

The main objective of the programme is the development of theoretical and practical learning, so that the doctor is able to master the latest techniques in the field in a practical and rigorous manner.

Our main objective is to help our students to achieve academic and professional excellence"

General Objective

• To master and/or update the necessary skills and knowledge for adequate practice in the field of Sleep Medicine at a global level, from the clinical and instrumental points of view

Specific Objectives

• Gain a deep understanding of which biological parameters are of interest in the different sleep recordings, how they can be recorded and how the sensors that monitor them work
• From the whole range of possible tests, you should acquire and master the skills to choose the most appropriate sleep test to be performed
• Gain the skills and understanding of the indications, recording, analysis and interpretation of all kinds of simplified systems in the diagnosis of sleep disorders
• Apply knowledge and skills on the indications, recording and practical problem solving during the Polysomnography (PSG) overnight sleep test, as a gold-standard sleep study technique. Include the acquisition of specific skills and training to perform analysis and interpretation of the sleep structure and all types of recorded events, as well as training to understand and evaluate external log reports
• Specialise in the current indications for PSG and learn when to extend or complement this test with a wide range of complementary elements
• Master the skills to implement and interpret additional instrumental tests to support the diagnosis in cases of daytime hypersomnolence or restless leg syndrome
• Gain a deep understanding of new ways of dealing with sleep disorders, through monitoring with sensors or with alternative systems different to the classic ones
• Some of them through wireless systems, pulse transit sensors, or the use of microwave sensors aimed at reducing the complexity of existing tests. Others, such as circadian monitoring with chronosensors, aim to record key parameters for the diagnosis of sleep disorders that are not covered by classical tests
  Emphasise the importance of image and sound recording in sleep studies
• Define theoretical knowledge of how the bioelectrical signal can be analyzed with software integrated in the devices, in order to be able to program the different diagnostic devices and to use the tools that each one of them provides us with
• Specialise in how a sleep unit is organised at different levels of care. To this end, the student will learn the different cycles for prevalent or specific sleep pathologies, which optimise resources and integrate the entire care process
• Gain an in-depth knowledge of the clinical, scientific and technical aspects of sleep-related breathing disorders, in particular SAHS
• Update the student's clinical skills in TRS in order to encourage them in their daily work
• Acquire skills to identify other sleep-disordered breathing disorders beyond SAHS
• Develop and update competencies in the individualized clinical management of the patient with SAHS, primarily in the field of the different options of non-invasive ventilation and, beyond it, in the novelties in positional treatment and incipient findings and evidences in the pharmacological field
• Know in depth the characteristics of normal sleep in children and adolescents and identify the physiological changes that occur (in sleep) as the process of brain maturation is completed until adulthood
• Develop anatomical-functional knowledge of the upper airways and their exploration methods that are very useful from the point of view of surgical and dental management guidance of factors influencing upper airway obstruction. Special attention is given, but not limited to, the indications and methodology of modern somnoscopy technology (DISE)
• Specialize in the different surgical techniques, including multilevel techniques, their precise indications and their usefulness in different situations, alone or in combination with other techniques
• Apply skills in the effectiveness, indications and mechanisms of action of modern dental devices and techniques used either alone, as an alternative, or in combination with other therapeutic techniques
• Specialize in the different myofunctional techniques for rehabilitation of muscles involved in airway obstruction, their indications and how and to what extent they can help in the prevention and resolution of problems
• Knowing how to integrate all the techniques discussed at the decision-making level, in order to properly protocolize the therapeutic line to be followed in each patient, maintaining possible alternative or rescue solutions according to the particular evolution
