Evaluation of the upper airway in obstructive sleep apnoea.
The evaluation of the upper airway (UA) includes the physical examination of pharyngeal structures and a number of imaging techniques that vary from the mostly used lateral cephalometry and computed tomography to more sophisticated methods such as tri-dimensional magnetic resonance image (MRI). Other complex techniques addressing UA collapsibility assessed by measurement of pharyngeal critical ...
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 Evaluation in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an increasingly common disease with pathophysiology based on the interaction of multiple factors. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is considered as the treatment of choice for OSA syndrome, but poor patient acceptance and compliance remain problematic. Surgical procedures are developed to alter the offending anatomic abnormalities responsible for OSA. ...
متن کامل[Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and the upper airway muscles].
Pharyngeal muscles are prone to distorsion during inspiratory negative pressure. Some pharyngeal muscles, called pharyngeal dilatators, exhibit tonic and/or phasic inspiratory activity. At the velar level, tensor palatini, glossopharyngeus, palatopharyngeus and musculus uvula drive the airflow towards nasal or buccal breathing. Genioglossus and geniohyoid muscles exert a forward propulsion to t...
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) ...
