Overview of Pediatric Sleep Disorders
Dr. Sujay Kansagra discusses developing a better understanding of mechanisms that regulate sleep and learning how to identify and treat common sleep disorders while also understanding the range of normal sleep.
A Sleep Tech’s Guide to EKG Basics
Jeffery “Ryan” Spruill discusses how to recognize a normal cardiac rhythm including ECG rates and intervals while also understanding how the electrical pathway of the heart affects ECG tracings. Learners will be able to identify and know the proper responses of abnormal cardiac rhythms.
