✍️ Sample RPSGT Questions & Answers
1. Adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) is contraindicated in which specific patient population, based on the findings of the SERVE-HF clinical trial?
The SERVE-HF trial (2015) demonstrated significantly increased cardiovascular mortality with ASV in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (LVEF < 45%) who had predominant central sleep apnea. ASV is therefore contraindicated in this population. This is a critical safety contraindication that all sleep technologists must know.
2. Which of the following correctly states the amplitude criterion for slow wave activity in N3 scoring?
AASM requires slow waves to have peak-to-peak amplitude >75 µV measured over the frontal derivations.
3. A sleep lab team is preparing for AASM accreditation. In a team leadership context, which action most demonstrates shared governance?
Shared governance involves frontline staff in decision-making processes, which improves buy-in and the quality of policies and procedures.
4. Stage N3 sleep is defined by what minimum percentage of slow-wave activity (SWA) per epoch?
AASM criteria require at least 20% of the epoch to consist of slow-wave (delta) activity to score N3.
5. A sleep technologist witnesses a patient have a generalized tonic-clonic seizure during a study. After calling for help, which action is the NEXT priority?
Positioning the patient laterally (recovery position) protects the airway from aspiration and is the primary safety intervention during a seizure.
6. Which of the following scenarios represents a HIPAA breach?
Sending unencrypted PHI to an unauthorized recipient is a HIPAA breach regardless of intent.
