Position Overview:

As a Sleep Study Specialist, you will be responsible for conducting comprehensive overnight sleep evaluations, including Multiple Sleep Latency Testing and Maintenance of Wakefulness Tests. Your expertise will contribute to scoring sleep studies and providing guidance in the training and orientation of new staff and trainees in the field of polysomnography.


Qualifications and Skills:

Candidates should possess formal training in Polysomnography, complemented by a minimum of two years of clinical experience within a sleep center environment. A solid understanding of Electroencephalography and Respiratory Therapy is essential. A high school diploma or equivalent is required.

Applicants must demonstrate complete technical proficiency in the operation of amplifiers, linear frequency filters, and ancillary monitoring devices, including nasal/oral respiration, effort monitors, pressure transducer airflow systems, and oximeters. Familiarity with digital acquisition systems is also expected.

The ideal candidate will be highly skilled in recognizing and interpreting waveforms and abnormalities, holding certification from the Sleep Disorders Registry by The American Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists (BRPT) and licensure from the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners in Polysomnography.


Certification Note:

Registered Respiratory Therapists (RRT) with a minimum of two years of experience in clinical polysomnography may be exempt from the requirement of the polysomnography registry by the American Board of Polysomnographic Technologists, provided their RRT registry is current and in good standing. They must also hold a valid license in both Respiratory Therapy and Polysomnography issued by the State of Louisiana.


Key Responsibilities:

- Conduct various sleep studies as prescribed by physicians, including Multiple Sleep Latency Testing and Maintenance of Wakefulness Tests.

- Calibrate monitoring equipment and accessory parameters prior to each sleep study.

- Administer Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) to patients diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, adhering to established protocols.

- Review and analyze patient medical histories to gather pertinent information.

- Prepare patients for testing by applying electrodes according to the 10/20 International System of measurement.

- Educate patients about the testing procedures and provide support throughout the process.

- Assist in the upkeep of departmental equipment and supplies, ensuring all records, reports, and files are maintained accurately.

- Maintain certification in basic CPR and demonstrate the ability to identify and address abnormalities observed during procedures.

- Score sleep studies and MSLTs using R&K criteria and support the director in community outreach and education regarding sleep disorders.


Critical Thinking and Communication:

The Sleep Study Specialist will assess patient needs—physical, personal, and technical—and effectively communicate these to the physician, offering appropriate technical support as necessary. This role requires timely reporting of procedural delays and outcomes to the charge person, as well as collaboration with inventory and equipment management.


Additional Duties:

The specialist will actively participate in the development of departmental goals and contribute positively to customer service and departmental operations. This position may also involve case management responsibilities, focusing on policy and procedure development, inventory maintenance, and staff training.
