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.

Positional Therapy for Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Sleep Medicine Clinics, 2019
Positional therapy appears to be an attractive strategy for many patients with positional obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, under the American Academy of Sleep Medicine OSA guidelines, positional therapy is considered as only an alternative therapy, because previous research has demonstrated poor treatment tolerance and adherence.

Efficacy of sleep position modification to treat positional obstructive sleep apnea

Sleep Medicine, 2015
To assess the feasibility and efficacy of sleep position modification in preventing supine sleep and improving sleep-disordered breathing and relevant clinical outcomes in positional obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients.Eighty-six consecutive participants with moderate positional OSA on routine diagnostic polysomnography underwent a randomized ...

Positional obstructive sleep apnea

Somnologie, 2018
The severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is, in 56–75 % influenced by body position. The prevalence of positional OSA (POSA) decreases as the severity of OSA increases, and 70–80% of POSA patients have mild to moderate OSA. The literature on POSA is reviewed.

Sleep positions in children with Down syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea

Sleep Medicine, 2021
To assess sleep positions in children with both Down syndrome (DS) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and determine if there is a preferred sleep position by severity of apnea.A single-center retrospective review of patients with both DS and OSA was performed. Caregivers reported sleep position utilized greater than 50% of observed sleep time.

The role of sleep position in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2006
We analyzed the role of sleep position in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The polysomnograms of 120 patients with sleep apnea syndrome were analyzed. We associated the apnea hypopnea index (AHI) of the supine position with the AHI of the other positions.

Body position and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

Pediatric Pulmonology, 2003
In adults, influence of body position on the occurrence of respiratory events during sleep is recognized, and increased numbers of respiratory events occur when the supine position is assumed.1-4 In 1985, Orr et al. showed that body position did not influence respiratory events during sleep in children.5 Recently, Fernandes do Prado et al.

Positional Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America
Positional sleep apnea (POSA), a distinctive subtype of obstructive sleep apnea, underscores the critical influence of a patient's sleeping position on the severity of their condition. In the management of POSA, compliance with positional therapy (PT) is paramount, as it wields a profound impact on the treatment's efficacy and the overall alleviation ...

Usefulness of Sleep Endoscopy in Predicting Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 2013
ObjectivesThe aim of the study was to (1) evaluate whether position affects drug‐induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) findings in positional and nonpositional patients and (2) determine which areas of the upper airway obstruct in different body positions.Study DesignProspective, case‐controlled study.SettingAcademic tertiary care center.Subjects and ...

Positional obstructive sleep apnea and cardiovascular outcomes

Sleep and Breathing
A tendency to obstruct the upper airway is markedly increased in supine sleep. Positional obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (POSA) occurs predominantly in the supine position. The implication of POSA in terms of future cardiovascular (CV) risk is unknown.
