Treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea With Positive Pressure Therapy
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2011Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a highly prevalent disorder, has historically been under-recognized. As its diagnosis and recognition increases, physicians other than sleep specialists will need to gain familiarity with the management of this disorder, which is so closely tied to increased morbidity, mortality, and an overall health care burden.

Positive Airway Pressure Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Chest, 2007Positive airway pressure (PAP) is the treatment of choice for patients with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that PAP can effectively reduce the apnea-hypopnea index and improve subjective and objective sleepiness.

Positive Airway Pressure Therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2016Positive airway pressure (PAP) is considered first-line therapy for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea and may also be considered for mild obstructive sleep apnea, particularly if it is symptomatic or there are concomitant cardiovascular disorders. Continuous PAP is most commonly used. Other modes, such as bilevel airway pressure, autotitrating

Bilevel positive airway pressure for obstructive sleep apnea
Expert Review of Medical Devices, 2014For most patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is an effective therapy. However, for a subset of individuals, CPAP is either not effective or is poorly tolerated. Bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP) is potentially capable of treating OSA at a lower mean pressure than CPAP and can help ...

Positive airway pressure in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea
Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2019Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by snoring, recurrent obstruction (apneas) of the upper airway which disrupts normal ventilation during sleep. In the last decade, there has been a increase in children diagnosed with persistent, severe OSA attributed to (1) the obesity epidemic as 25-60% of obese children will have obesity related OSA (2)

Drug‐Induced Sleep Endoscopy in Children With Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 2020ObjectivePositional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA)—defined as obstructive sleep apnea twice as severe supine than nonsupine—may offer clues to the underlying pattern of upper airway collapse in children. We compared drug‐induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) findings in children with and without POSA.

Positive-pressure treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
2011Publisher Summary Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is applied in the established treatment of first choice for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Studies have provided information on different aspects of usage and compliance of CPAP therapy.

Influence of head position on obstructive sleep apnea severity
Sleep and Breathing, 2017Supine body orientation plays an important role in precipitating upper airway collapse in a significant proportion of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients known to have supine-predominant OSA (OSAsup). Traditionally, trunk position is used to assess OSAsup, but the role of the head position has not been established. We hypothesized that head position

Effect of supine knee position on obstructive sleep apnea
Sleep and Breathing, 2006We previously reported a case of a middle-aged man whose obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was virtually eliminated when he slept in the supine "knees up" position. In this study, we attempt to replicate this phenomenon in a group of volunteers with previously diagnosed OSA. Results indicated no significant improvement in OSA when sleeping supine knees up.

Effect of Anterior Mandibular Positioning on Obstructive Sleep Apnea
American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1993Abstract This prospective case report series utilized an anterior mandibular positioning (AMP) device on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients and evaluated the changes in the respiratory disturbance index (RDI) and subjective overall satisfaction with the treatment.
