0799 The Efficacy of Oral Appliance Therapy in Managing Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Sleep
Positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA) is characterized by a significant increase in airway obstruction and breathing disturbances when a patient sleeps in the supine position compared to sleeping on their side.

Positive Airway Pressure Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Chest, 2007
Positive 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.

1111 Relationship Between Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Excessive DaytimeSleepiness in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Sleep
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Prior studies have suggested that OSA-related excessive daytime sleepiness symptom (EDS) is less pronounced in patients with AF.

Treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea With Positive Pressure Therapy

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2011
Obstructive 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.

0750 Efficacy of Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation in Positional and Non-Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Sleep
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) is an emerging treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This study evaluates the effectiveness of HGNS in positional and non-positional OSA patients by evaluating improvements in the Apnea-Hypopnea Index ...

Bilevel positive airway pressure for obstructive sleep apnea

Expert Review of Medical Devices, 2014
For 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 Therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2016
Positive 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

Positive airway pressure in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea

Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2019
Obstructive 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)

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.

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 ...
