Download or read book Novel Technique in Sleep Apnea Monitoring written by Vishnoukumaar Sivaji and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sleep apnea is a condition in which there are periods of pauses in breathing called apnea during sleep. It is usually diagnosed in sleep labs with a polysomnography system which monitors various parameters during sleep. Portable sleep apnea monitors are becoming common for use at homes. Commercially available sleep apnea monitors connect to a base station using several cables which leads to patient discomfort arising from restriction of freedom of movement. This thesis explores the feasibility of a completely wireless and mostly battery-free monitor that is small and inconspicuous to the patient while sleeping. As a proof of concept, the P2110 RF power harvester evaluation board from Powercast has been used to wirelessly power the sensor nodes and to send their data to a base station using a 2.4GHz radio. The proposed final application would involve a custom IC for power harvesting, amplification and telemetry.

Download or read book Drug Induced Sleep Endoscopy written by Nico de Vries and published by Thieme. This book was released on 2020-11-11 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive resource on the innovative use of DISE for obstructive sleep apnea Obstructive sleep apnea is the most prevalent sleep-related breathing disorder, impacting an estimated 1.36 billion people worldwide. In the past, OSA was almost exclusively treated with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), however, dynamic assessment of upper airway obstruction with Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE) has been instrumental in developing efficacious alternatives. Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications by Nico de Vries, Ottavio Piccin, Olivier Vanderveken, and Claudio Vicini is the first textbook on DISE written by world-renowned sleep medicine pioneers. Twenty-four chapters feature contributions from an impressive group of multidisciplinary international experts. Foundational chapters encompass indications, contraindications, informed consent, organization and logistics, patient preparation, and drugs used in DISE. Subsequent chapters focus on treatment outcomes, the role of DISE in therapeutic decision making and upper airway stimulation, pediatric sleep endoscopy, craniofacial syndromes, advanced techniques, and more. Key Highlights Comprehensive video library highlights common and rare DISE findings A full spectrum of sleep disordered breathing and OSA topics, from historic to future perspectives Insightful clinical pearls on preventing errors and managing complications including concentric and epiglottis collapse Discussion of controversial DISE applications including oral appliances and positional and combination therapies This unique book is essential reading for otolaryngology residents, fellows, and surgeons. Clinicians in other specialties involved in sleep medicine will also benefit from this reference, including pulmonologists, neurologists, neurophysiologists, maxillofacial surgeons, and anesthesiologists.

Download or read book A Novel Technique for Measuring the Physiological Traits Causing Obstructive Sleep Apnea written by D. Andrew Wellman and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder characterized by pharyngeal obstruction during sleep, which causes hypoxemia, arousals, and surges in sympathetic activation that persist into the daytime and cause hypertension, adverse cardiovascular events, and neurocognitive sequelae. Despite these serious health-related consequences, the diagnosis and management of OSA remains suboptimum. For example, there are no clinically available tests for measuring pharyngeal mechanics or other breathing control metrics. Moreover, the current therapies for OSA are either poorly tolerated or ineffective. Thus, new diagnostic and treatment strategies are needed. The studies described in this manuscript deal directly with these issues. The first study describes a clinically feasible technique for measuring several of the physiological traits causing OSA. Eleven subjects slept on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP - air pressure at a constant level throughout inspiration and expiration applied through a nasal mask) at various levels, which produced disturbances to the ventilatory control system that could be used to estimate the traits using control-system modeling and parameter estimation methods. The study demonstrated the feasibility of the procedure and confirmed the multifactorial nature of OSA. The second study tested the effectiveness of a drug (acetazolamide) at manipulating one of the pathogenic traits (respiratory control-system loop gain). Diagnosing the abnormal trait(s) in an individual with the above-mentioned procedure is effective from a clinical management perspective only if there are ways to treat the abnormal traits with drugs or devices. This study showed that acetazolamide could lower loop gain by approximately 41%, and that such lowering led to a substantial (51%) improvement in OSA severity. Future studies will test the effectiveness of other drugs at altering the other traits; the ultimate goal is to choose the right combination of drugs in selected individuals to treat OSA without CPAP. The final study describes several important revisions that were made to the original technique for measuring the traits. In particular, the original method had a relatively low success rate of 76% when tested in a larger population. The new procedure is simpler and has a 100% success rate for measuring all traits in the 13 individuals studied to date.

This book was released on 2021-01-18 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
