Abstract:
The integration of sleep medicine into hospital care is critical for addressing sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), a condition highly prevalent among hospitalized patients. Effective management of SDB is linked to improved patient outcomes, reduced recovery times, and decreased hospital readmission rates. Advancements in technology, such as wearable devices and noninvasive monitoring tools, have enhanced real-time assessment and management of SDB. Early detection and intervention through structured hospital sleep medicine programs have shown improvements in patient care and overall health care costs. The evolving field of hospital sleep medicine emphasizes the importance of addressing SDB to enhance patient well-being and health care efficiency.
