Loop Gain Predicts the Response to Upper Airway Surgery in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Study Objectives Upper airway surgery is often recommended to treat patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who cannot tolerate continuous positive airways pressure. However, the response to surgery is variable, potentially because it does not improve the nonanatomical factors (ie, loop gain [LG] and arousal threshold) causing OSA. Measuring these traits clinically might predict responses t...
متن کاملoutcomes of upper airway surgery in obstructive sleep apnea
background and objective: obstructive sleep apnea (osa) is defined as a sleep disordered breathing due to partial or complete obstruction of upper airways. this study aimed to investigate treatment outcomes and clinical complications among patients with osa who underwent upper airway surgery in clinical settings. materials and methods: all patients undergone upper airway surgery for osa were ca...
متن کاملUpper airway surgery for obstructive sleep apnea.
Upper airway surgical treatments for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) attempt to modify dysfunctional pharyngeal anatomy or by-pass the pharynx. Modifications of the pharynx diminish the bulk of soft tissue structures which abut the air column, place them under tension, others alter their spatial inter-relationships. Surgical procedures are designed to modify the retropalatal pharynx, th...
متن کاملThe Effect of Upper Airway Surgery on Sleep Quality and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
BODY: Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder affecting both men and women in all ethnicities. It is well known that the primary cause of OSA is upper airway obstruction due to either anatomical or neurologic factors. The primary treatment modality for OSA is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). However, a significant proportion of patients diagnosed with O...
متن کامل[Upper airway stimulation in obstructive sleep apnea].
The stimulation of the upper airway represents an effective treatment option in case of CPAP failure in patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. The stimulation with respiratory sensing (Inspire Medical Systems) has shown a high level of evidence in larger cohorts and longer follow-up studies. Whether the results of the stimulation without respiratory sensing (ImThera Medical) ...
