Medical treatment (excluding CPAP and orthodontics) of Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aside surgical and orthodontic treatment and nocturnal ventilation, there are two types of treatment adapted for childhood obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS): pharmacological treatment is reserved to non-severe OSAHS with no upper airway obstruction, because of limited efficacy; oro-myofacial rehabilitation is always associated to other therapeutic interventions.

Determination of The Relationship Between Severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea And Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients are at increased risk of sleep-disorders. The concomitant occurrence of COPD and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is named overlap syndrome. This study aimed to evaluate the severity of OSAHS in overlap syndrome patients.Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on adult patients with forced...
متن کاملThe Evaluation of Diastolic Hypertention in Sleep Overlap Syndrome
Introduction:The overlap syndrome, consisting ofobstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and chronic obstructvie pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major problem in COPD patients. OSHAS corresponds to the likelihood of systemic hypertension.The present study was aimed to evaluate the association between apnea-hypopnea index and diastolic blood presssure (DBP) in overlap patients. Materials...
متن کاملEfficacy of continuous positive airway pressure treatment in treating obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome associated with carotid arteriosclerosis.
Sleep apnea negatively impacts patients' ability to oxygenate the bloodstream during sleep and has far-reaching, deleterious effects. The present study sought to assess the correlation between obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), carotid atherosclerosis, and blood pressure variability (BPV), and to evaluate the therapeutic effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Pat...
متن کاملAutonomic activity difference during continuous positive airway pressure titration in patients with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome with or without hypertension.
BACKGROUND Current evidence suggests that obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is an independent risk factor for systemic hypertension. The mechanisms linking OSAHS to hypertension remain unclear. However, recent studies have indicated that abnormal autonomic control may be an important factor. Our study aims to evaulate differences in autonomic activity between hypertensive and no...
متن کاملRelationship between Aldosterone and the Metabolic Syndrome in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome: Effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Treatment
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MS) occurs frequently in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). We hypothesized that aldosterone levels are elevated in OSAHS and associated with the presence of MS. METHODS We studied 66 patients with OSAHS (33 with MS and 33 without MS) and 35 controls. The occurrence of the MS was analyzed according to the National Cholesterol Educat...
