This paper updates the American Academy of Sleep Medicine’s (AASM) protocols for the administration of the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) and Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT). The AASM commissioned a task force of clinical experts in sleep medicine to review published literature on the performance of these tests since the publication of the 2005 AASM practice parameter paper. Although no evidence-based changes to the protocols were warranted, the task force made several changes based on consensus. These changes included guidance on patient preparation, medication and substance use, sleep prior to testing, test scheduling, optimum test conditions, and documentation. This paper provides guidance to providers who order and administer the MSLT and MWT.

本文更新了美国睡眠医学会 (AASM) 的管理多睡眠潜伏期测试 (MSLT) 和维持清醒测试 (MWT) 的协议。自 2005 年 AASM 实践参数论文发表以来，AASM 委托睡眠医学临床专家组成的工作组审查有关这些测试性能的已发表文献。尽管不需要对协议进行循证更改，但工作组根据共识进行了一些更改。这些变化包括对患者准备、药物和物质使用、测试前的睡眠、测试安排、最佳测试条件和文档的指导。本文为订购和管理 MSLT 和 MWT 的提供者提供指导。
