Opioid prescription patterns among sleep surgeons in the U.S. remained stable from 2013 to 2021; surgeons with longer tenures exhibited higher rates of opioid prescribing during this time.
Tirzepatide Reduces Sleep Impairment and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Patients with Moderate-to-Severe OSA
In two trials, participants with OSA and obesity who received tirzepatide had a clinically meaningful change in sleep-disordered breathing and alleviation of perceived sleep disturbance and sleep-related impairment, as well as reductions in common OSA-related cardiovascular risk factors.
Sleep Onset Time and Sleep Duration Associated with Cardiometabolic Health Outcomes
What are the independent and joint associations of sleep onset time and sleep duration with cardiometabolic health outcomes?
Propofol Application Rate Pattern Found Suitable for Performing Sedation-Controlled DISE in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and/or Snoring
What are the influences of different rates of propofol application on the achieved depth and length of the sedation course during drug-induced endoscopy (DISE)?
Identifying and Managing Sensing Lead Malfunction in Upper Airway Stimulation Devices
Identifying and managing sensing lead malfunction in upper airway stimulation devices using the Inspire Medical Systems’ upper airway stimulation (UAS) device to treat patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), to necessitate revision surgery.
Extruded Hardware Lead in Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Device Successfully Reimplanted Without Explantation
In the absence of infection, lead wire exposure from hypoglossal nerve stimulation implantation can be treated with urgent surgery to reimplant the lead and salvage the device.
Adding Enhanced Measurements to Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy Aids in Distinguishing Central from Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Patients
Central sleep apnea can be easily mistaken for obstructive sleep apnea; enhancing during drug-induced sleep endoscopy with additional measurements enables sleep surgeons to correlate physiologic and anatomic assessment to distinguish between the two apneas.
Ansa Cervicalis Stimulation a Viable Ancillary Treatment for Some Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Ansa Cervicalis Stimulation could become a viable ancillary respiratory neurostimulation (RNS) strategy for patients with insufficient responses to hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS).
No Persistent Postoperative Swallowing Dysfunction Following Pharyngeal Surgery in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Pharyngeal upper airway surgery in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) resulted in no significant, persistent adverse change in swallowing function.
No Significant Association Between Laryngopharyngeal Reflux and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Age and smoking, but not body mass index, are associated with laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR).
