Role of Sensory Stimulation in Amelioration of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), characterized by recurrent upper airway (UA) collapse during sleep, is associated with significant morbidity and disorders. Polysomnogram is employed in the evaluation of OSA and apnea-hypopnea number per hour reflects severity. For normal breathing, it is essential that the collapsible UA is patent. However, obstruction of the UA is quite common in adults and inf...
متن کامل[Upper airway stimulation in obstructive sleep apnea].
The stimulation of the upper airway represents an effective treatment option in case of CPAP failure in patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. The stimulation with respiratory sensing (Inspire Medical Systems) has shown a high level of evidence in larger cohorts and longer follow-up studies. Whether the results of the stimulation without respiratory sensing (ImThera Medical) ...
متن کاملObstructive sleep apnea and the severity of coronary artery disease
Background: It has been implicated that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease including stroke, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypertension. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between OSA and severity of atherosclerosis assessed by angiography. Methods: This study included 337 patients ...

متن کاملObstructive Sleep Apnea: Electrical Stimulation Treatment
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an intermittent occlusion of the upper airways (UAW) resulting in frequent arousals during sleep (Fig. 1) (1). OSA is a prevalent problem among middle-aged overweight males. Surgical approaches offer only partial relief and the outcome of the surgery is not predictable preoperatively. No drug therapy exists that is effective for the long-term (2). The best thera...
