Implantable upper airway stimulation device for OSA among highlights of SLEEP 2014 conference
Multilevel Surgery for OSA Has Increased
How have the patterns of surgical sleep procedures used to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) changed over time?
UA Collapse Patterns in Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy
What upper airway (UA) collapse patterns can be seen during drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE), and how do they compare with baseline patient characteristics?
Non-AHI Measurements May Be Useful in Nonsurgical Management of OSA
Are measurements of real-world clinical outcomes other than the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) useful in managing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)?
Oxygen Desaturation May Not Be Predictive of Post-Operative Apneic Death in Pediatric OSA
Can risk factors for oxygen desaturation be predictors for post-operative apneic death in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients?
Comparison of Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy and Lateral Cephalometry
What are the associations between findings from drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) and lateral cephalometry in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)? Background: Because surgical treatment of OSA is directed at specific regions […]
Sleep Apnea Associated with Hypertension in Young People
What is the association between sleep apnea and hypertension in younger patients? Background: Younger patients with sleep apnea have a higher cardiovascular mortality rate compared with their normal counterparts. Because […]
OSA Patients Less Likely to Have Post-Op Bleeding
What is the relationship between pre-operative clinical diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and post-operative hemorrhage? Background: In general, post-operative complications following tonsillectomy are rare, with hemorrhage being one of […]
Single-Staged Modified UPPP with Nasal Surgery Safe for OSAS Patients
Can an anatomy-based staging system effectively predict the efficacy of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) performed along with nasal surgery? Background: While the overall efficacy of UPPP is estimated at 40 percent, Friedman and […]
Mild OSA Linked to Nasal Obstruction
What impact does nasal obstruction have on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as measured by polysomnography (PSG)? Background: While nasal obstruction is often identified and treated in patients with OSA, its role […]
