Effect of Anterior Mandibular Positioning on Obstructive Sleep Apnea

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1993
Abstract 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.

[Positional obstructive sleep apnea syndrome].

Revue medicale suisse, 2014
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) tends to worsen on the supine posture due to the effect of gravity on tongue position. In some cases, OSA is present exclusively on the supine posture (exclusive postural OSA). These patients may benefit from positional therapy (PT), which aim is to prevent sleep in the supine posture using different types of devices ...

Nocturnal body position in sleeping children with and without obstructive sleep apnea

Pediatric Pulmonology, 2007
AbstractObjectivesTo assess whether body position during sleep differs among children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS) and controls, and to assess the effects of body position, obesity, and tonsillar size on respiratory disturbance. Four hundred and thirty consecutive children with polysomnographically demonstrated OSAS.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

New England Journal of Medicine, 2007
A 48-year-old man reports that he snores loudly and falls asleep when sedentary. A diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea is made, and treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is recommended. CPAP has been shown to improve cognitive function and sleep quality, although beneficial effects on survival have not been clearly documented.
