Accurate position monitoring and improved supine-dependent obstructive sleep apnea with a new position recording and supine avoidance device.
STUDY OBJECTIVES Approximately 30% of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients have supine-predominant OSA, and simply avoiding supine sleep should normalise respiratory disturbance event rates. However, traditional supine-avoidance therapies are inherently uncomfortable, and treatment adherence is poor and difficult to monitor objectively. This study evaluated the efficacy of a novel, potentiall...
متن کاملNight-to-night repeatability of supine-related obstructive sleep apnea.

Postural modification devices (PMDs) prevent supine sleep, although there is a paucity of guidance to help clinicians decide when to use PMDs for their patients. In order for PMDs to treat OSA effectively, patients must experience respira...

Thoracotomy, a previously used method, was accompanied by high pulmonary complications, had physical limitations, and low tolerance of patients. Thoracoscopic esophagectomy is a new suitable method with less morbidity. Objectives: The present study aimed to inves...

With the patient prone PCNL has several drawbacks, while when supine, as described previously, PCNL has mechanical limitations. We describe a modification that aims to overcome these limitations and provide easy access comparab...
