Technical

How do you approach scoring a study when the signals are noisy or the patient moved a lot during the night?

What's different about how you prepare and run an MSLT compared to a standard overnight diagnostic study?

Describe a night where you had more than one patient to monitor and something went wrong with equipment on one of them. How did you prioritize?

multitasking under pressure and equipment troubleshooting skill during live monitoring
