Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Elderly Patients [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020 Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of position-dependent obstructive sleep apnea (POSA) in elderly patients (≥65 years old). Adult (range 19-65 years old) and elderly patients were also compared in order to show differences in the incidence of POSA between these two groups of patients.

The undervalued potential of positional therapy in position-dependent snoring and obstructive sleep apnea—a review of the literature [PDF]
Sleep and Breathing, 2012 PURPOSE: Research during the past 10–20 years shows that positional therapy (PT) has a significant influence on the apnea–hypopnea index. These studies are predominantly performed as case series on a comparably small number of patients.

Older Age is Associated With Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea
American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, 2023 Untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with cognitive dysfunction; however studies report low adherence rates to standard continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in the elderly. Positional OSA (p-OSA) is a subset that can be cured by positional therapy of avoiding supine sleep.

Postural Effect on Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Sitting Versus Supine [PDF]
Sleep Medicine Research, 2022 Postural effects on breathing are evident in most patients with obstructive sleep apnea. However, the impact varies depending on an individual’s habitual sleeping position. Here, an age 40 obese male with typical sleep apnea symptoms is presented. He had

Positional Therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Therapeutic Modalities and Clinical Effects [PDF]
Sleep Medicine Research, 2023 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent occurrences of partial or complete collapse of the upper airway during sleep, leading to shallow breathing or breathing pauses.

The Emerging Role of Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy in the Management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2021 Obstructive sleep apnea is a prevalent sleep disorder characterized by partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway. Continuous positive airway pressure is the first-line therapy for most patients, but adherence is often poor.

Polysomnographic and clinical characteristics of positional obstructive sleep apnea patients
The Egyptian Journal of Bronchology, 2021 Background Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition characterized by the complete or partial obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. This study aimed to compare the clinical and polysomnographic characteristics of our obstructive sleep apnea patients
