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.
Sleep Position, BMI May Affect Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Success
While hypoglossal nerve stimulation can be effective for treating obstructive sleep apnea, factors such as weight and sleep position can decrease its effectiveness
Experts Discuss Technological Advancements In Sleep Disorder Management
Technological advancements aim to improve sleep positioning. In addition to pillows, belts, and other supports to encourage side sleeping, vibrotactile devices worn around the chest or neck can sense when someone is sleeping on their back and use a gentle but persistent vibration to remind people to change their position.
How to: Barbed Stayed Bridge Pharyngoplasty (BSBP)
