Effect of supine knee position on obstructive sleep apnea

Sleep and Breathing, 2006
We 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.

Influence of head position on obstructive sleep apnea severity

Sleep and Breathing, 2017
Supine 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

Noncontinuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapies for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2014
While continuous positive airway pressure is the first-line treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, many patients find this form of therapy undesirable leading to treatment nonadherence. Both mandibular advancement devices and surgical therapy offer alternative solutions for such patients.

Positive Pressure Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Abstract The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the utility of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults—including continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), bilevel PAP (BPAP), and auto-titrating PAP (APAP).
