The high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has only recently been appreciated, in part because the symptoms and signs of chronic sleep disruption are often overlooked in spite of their debilitating consequences. They typically develop insidiously during a period of years.

Obstructive sleep apnea is an increasingly well-recognized disease characterized by periodic collapse of the upper airway during sleep. This leads to either complete or partial obstruction of the airway, resulting in apneas, hypopneas, or both. This disorder causes daytime somnolence, neurocognitive defects, and depression.

Annals of Internal Medicine, 2019 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is very common but is frequently undiagnosed. Symptoms include loud snoring, nocturnal awakening, and daytime sleepiness. Motor vehicle accidents due to drowsy driving are a particular concern. Evaluation and treatment should focus on symptomatic patients, both to alleviate symptoms and to potentially decrease ...

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1985
This chapter provides an account of obstructive sleep apnea that is designed for clinicians. Current ideas about the mechanism of upper airway obstruction are reviewed, and the clinical features are discussed in a manner intended to facilitate the clinical assessment of such patients.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disease that results from loss of upper airway muscle tone leading to upper airway collapse during sleep in anatomically susceptible persons, leading to recurrent periods of hypoventilation, hypoxia, and arousals from sleep.

Our understanding of the nature and consequences of upper-airway obstruction in adults during sleep has evolved considerably over the past two decades. Sleep apnea — defined as repeated episodes of obstructive apnea and hypopnea during sleep, together with daytime sleepiness or altered cardiopulmonary function — is common.1 Epidemiologic studies ...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common type of sleep-disordered breathing. This article describes advances in the diagnosis, testing, treatment, and monitoring of OSA.Home sleep apnea testing and in-laboratory polysomnography are the most commonly used diagnostic tools in the identification and monitoring of OSA, but new methods for diagnosis

Obstructive Sleep apnea Therapy [PDF]
Journal of Dental Research, 2008 In clinical practice, oral appliances are used primarily for obstructive sleep apnea patients who do not respond to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. We hypothesized that an oral appliance is not inferior to CPAP in treating obstructive sleep apnea effectively.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent disorder, affecting 2% to 4% of the adult population [1]. It is characterized by recurrent apneas and hypopneas during sleep with resultant oxyhemoglobin desaturations and sleep fragmentation. The clinical sequelae of OSAmay be severe and include daytime hypersomnolence, cognitive impairment, systemic and/or

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is often overlooked by clinicians; however, undiagnosed OSA can lead to negative outcomes for patients, including patients with underlying neurologic conditions. Clinicians should be aware of what questions to ask, what diagnostic tests to use, and what treatments to consider in patients with OSA.OSA influences many ...
