Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with heavy snoring is a common
disorder, affecting more than 1 out of 10 adults, and is closely
associated with hypertension, heart disease, stroke, depression,
and cognitive decline. Upper airway stimulation therapy is a novel,
highly effective alternative method of treatment, involving a
surgically implanted device that uses electrical stimulation of
muscles to expand the upper airway, thereby addressing the primary
cause of OSA. The first of its kind, Upper Airway Stimulation
Therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a comprehensive review of
the medical, surgical, and technical aspects of this innovative
treatment for OSA. It delves into the current state of knowledge
regarding upper airway stimulation, reviewing pathophysiological
basis of sleep apnea and the specific mechanism by which upper
airway stimulation provides airway support in this disorder.
Evidence-based, this book provides practical guidelines for patient
selection, clinical outcomes, surgical technique, long-term
follow-up and adverse events, as well as for developing an upper
airway stimulation program.
