Topic
Sleep medicine is a new medical speciality which covers the sleep related knowledge of the classic medical disciplines (neurology, internal medicine, pulmonology, etc.).
The importance of the sleep medicine is underlined by the facts that significant portion of cardio- and cerebrovascular pathology is based on sleep related breathing disorders, and both job and traffic accidents can be the consequence of sleepiness and/or insomnia.
The main topics of this course are: excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep apnea syndrome, sleep related movement disorders, insomnias, parasomnias, circadian sleep disorders, noninvasive ventilation and the connection between the sleep disorders and occupational medicine.
