In 1992, both agencies listed as “skills” the interpretation of cardiopulmonary monitoring over time and the ability to understand the interpretation of polysomnographic (PSG) reports. Cardiopulmonary monitoring referred to the interpretation of studies, including but not limited to respiratory effort, respiratory airflow, cardiac measures or measurements of gas exchange (arterial blood gases or noninvasive measures of oxygen saturation, transcutaneous measures, or end-tidal CO2). It was assumed that knowledge of electroencephalographic (EEG) procedures and any interpretation or report about EEG sleep or the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) would be understood to the point that the pulmonary practitioner could make the best decision for his or her patient. In other words, whereas the trainee or pulmonary specialist would not be expected to score the PSG or MSLT, he or she should know what to look for in an interpretation of a PSG or MSLT to determine the validity of the physician report and recommendations. Measurements of cardiopulmonary monitoring over time have been acknowledged as a part of the training curriculum because they are directly relevant to cardiorespiratory pathophysiology in the intensive care unit as well as in the outpatient practice of pulmonary medicine. Such tests, I believe, can be interpreted without performing direct measurements of sleep by a pulmonologist or critical care practitioner. They should be interpreted in terms of how these measurements impact the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of diseases likely to be encountered in patient care and when sleep problems are the consequence rather than the cause of the problem. Such settings might include the intensive care unit or the management of sleep apnea, an instability of the respiratory control system that is sleep related. The physician should be able to “look over the shoulder” at a PSG and ask pertinent questions about the reasons for abnormalities in cardiopulmonary measurements and the effect of interventions. I conclude that over time there has been a loss of articulation of this knowledge and learning objectives as well as the skills that are well within the domain of practice of pulmonary medicine in regard to the management of breathing-disturbed sleep.
