[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 ...

Comparative efficacy of sleep positional therapy, oral appliance therapy, and CPAP in obstructive sleep apnea: a meta-analysis of mean changes in key outcomes

Frontiers in Medicine
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is commonly treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), though many patients struggle with adherence. Sleep positional therapy (SPT) offers a potential alternative, especially for positional OSA (POSA)

Positive-pressure treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

2011
Publisher 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.

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.

Effect of Anterior Mandibular Positioning on Obstructive Sleep Apnea

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1993
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.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, and Surgery

Survey of anesthesiology, 1988
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who have undergone upper airway surgery could be expected to improve if surgery alleviated some or all of the anatomic obstructions, or continue to desaturate at preoperative levels if the surgery was not corrective.
