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 […]
Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy Provides Insight into OSA
Can drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) help determine the mechanisms for lack of response to surgery for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)? Background: The most common OSA surgical treatment in the U.S. is […]
