Psych patient in sleep lab


Posted by Terry on February 13, 2002 at 16:19:56:

Has anyone had a significant event(however you define it), with a sleep lab patient who was suffering from a psych disorder? (For example, major depressive, suicidal, manic, panic attack, extreme anxiety, or PTSD)
What precautions were or should have been taken?
What interventions occured? Thanks for any input.
Response can be posted or emailed to tmalloy@mindspring.com
