Oral Appliances for Severe Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: A Case Report
Applied Sciences, 2022 Severe positional obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (POSAS) is a common clinical respiratory disorder with an incidence of 26.7% to 74.5%. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) combined with positional therapy is the gold standard of treatment ...

Clinical management of a severe case of positional obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
Annali di Stomatologia, 2019 Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common disorder which involves upper airway collapse during sleep. Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome is a sub-type of OSAS characterized by obstructive apneas mainly in the supine sleeping position.

Effect of sleep position on obstructive sleep apnea.
The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1988 In order to examine the effect of sleep position on sleep apnea episodes, seven male patients diagnosed as having obstructive sleep apnea syndrome without any organic complication of the upper airway were studied while lying in a supine or lateral position during an all-night polysomnographic study.

Obstructive sleep apnea is position dependent in young infants
Pediatric Research, 2022 Abstract Background Obstructive sleep apnea in infants with Pierre Robin sequence is sleep-position dependent. The influence of sleep position on obstructive events is not established in other infants. Methods We re-evaluated ten-year pediatric sleep center data in infants ...

Effect of Prone Position on Apnea Severity in Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Internal Medicine, 1995 We describe a patient with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) whose apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) improved remarkably in the prone position accompanied by an improved sleep quality, despite a higher AHI in the supine position and even in the lateral position.

Use of positional therapy when incorporated into a diagnosis-treatment algorithm for obstructive sleep apnea [PDF]
Sleep Science, 2019 Purpose: Positional obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent. We hypothesized that by incorporating positional therapy into a diagnosis-treatment algorithm for OSA it would frequently be prescribed as an appropriate first-line ...
