Resumo(s)
Este estágio curricular, realizado no Serviço de Neurologia da ULS Matosinhos EPE, teve como objetivo aprofundar conhecimentos práticos no diagnóstico diferencial de parassónias, epilepsias relacionadas com o sono e outros distúrbios do movimento, tendo sido desenvolvido num contexto neurológico pela especificidade da referenciação e pela maior complexidade diagnóstica associada a esta tipologia de doentes, distinta da observada em laboratórios com predominância pneumológica ou em centros de sono com casuística mais equilibrada. Para além da observação e análise de estudos de videopolissonografia (vPSG) e da interpretação de EEG em contexto de sono, esta experiência proporcionou o contacto direto com os desafios do quotidiano laboratorial.
Incluiu igualmente a partilha de dificuldades e a aprendizagem, junto de profissionais experientes, de estratégias que apoiam a abordagem de doentes complexos, em particular indivíduos com patologia neurológica, nos quais a complexidade diagnóstica é frequentemente acrescida pela coexistência de múltiplos níveis de interferência, nomeadamente clínicos e técnicos.
Esta vivência prática contribuiu para a consolidação de competências na leitura e discussão de exames polissonográficos, para uma maior sensibilidade na interpretação do registo vídeo e, de forma crucial, para a capacidade de identificar, minimizar e interpretar artefactos suscetíveis de interferir na análise dos traçados.
O estágio constituiu, assim, uma oportunidade relevante para o desenvolvimento profissional, contribuindo para o contínuo aperfeiçoamento de competências na área da Medicina do Sono.
This curricular internship, carried out in the Neurology Department of ULS Matosinhos EPE, aimed to deepen practical knowledge in the differential diagnosis of parasomnias, sleep-related epilepsies, and other movement disorders. It was developed within a neurological setting due to the specificity of referral patterns and the increased diagnostic complexity associated with this patient population. In addition to the observation and analysis of video polysomnography (vPSG) studies and the interpretation of EEG in a sleep context, this experience provided direct exposure to the challenges of daily laboratory practice. It also included the sharing of difficulties and the learning of strategies, alongside experienced professionals, to support the approach to complex patients—particularly those with neurological conditions, in whom diagnostic complexity is often increased by the coexistence of multiple levels of interference, namely clinical and technical. This hands-on experience contributed to the consolidation of competencies in the reading and discussion of polysomnographic studies, to increased sensitivity in video analysis, and, crucially, to the ability to identify, minimize, and interpret artifacts that may interfere with signal analysis. Overall, this internship represented a valuable opportunity for professional development, contributing to the ongoing refinement of competencies in the field of Sleep Medicine.
