Download or read book Positional Therapy in Obstructive Sleep Apnea written by Nico de Vries and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-05 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the most prevalent sleep disordered breathing disorder. It has become apparent that in more than half the patients with OSA, the frequency and duration of apneas are influenced by body position. To treat patients with Position Dependent OSA (POSA), positional therapy can be considered for preventing patients from sleeping in the worst sleeping position. Treatment of POSA has advanced dramatically recently with the introduction of a new generation of positional therapy. Positional Therapy in Obstructive Sleep Apnea presents improved OSA diagnostic methods and the tools needed to implement positional therapy in clinical practice. This includes patient work-up, positional therapy with or without other treatments, consequences of guidelines and future developments.

Download or read book Obstructive and Central Sleep Apnea written by Joan McCormick and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spectrum of sleep-disordered breathing ranges from primary snoring at one end to obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea at the other end. The first chapter in this book provides current state of knowledge about the mechanisms of obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea and reviews emerging therapies for these disorders. Furthermore, sleep apnea usually has multifactorial causes and affects multiple organic systems resulting in increased cardiovascular morbidity, disturbing sleep quality, metabolic balance, glucose and cholesterol levels, arterial hypertension and thus increasing cardiopulmonary and vascular morbidity. The second chapter summarises the main findings in literature and provides a brief and concise differential diagnosis. The authors of the third chapter expose and discuss current evidence of neurosurgical conditions and their role in the genesis and progression of sleep apnea. They emphasise the adequate treatment and future perspectives. The following chapter examine the effect of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on the eye. Different ophthalmologic disorders are associated with OSAS including floppy eyelid syndrome, retinal vein occlusion, and central serious retinopathy. The last chapter in this book is focused on QT dispersion in patients with obstructive sleep apnea, with increased QT dispersion potentially reflecting disturbed myocardial repolarisation and predisposition to cardiac arrhythmias.

Download or read book Relief from Snoring and Sleep Apnea written by Tess Graham and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A simple breakthrough approach to getting silent restful sleep and increasing your health and energy. With a foreword by eminent cardiologist and bestselling author, Dr Ross Walker.The secret to getting relief from snoring and sleep apnea, more oxygen to every cell in your body and increasing your energy, lies in getting your breathing right. Breathing is the most basic and most overlooked function of your body. People who snore and have sleep apnea do not breathe correctly. No exceptions. Research shows they 'over-breathe' - breathe 2-3 times more air per minute than is normal, both when AWAKE and ASLEEP. Rapid inhalation during sleep, when the throat muscles are relaxed, causes vibration and turbulence in the throat (snoring), and may create a suction effect on the throat sufficient to obstruct breathing. This does not happen when breathing correctly - slowly and gently, in and out your nose, all day and all night. Unfortunately, checking someone's habitual breathing pattern is not part of standard medical diagnosis, so chronic over-breathing is rarely identified.This book, written by a highly qualified and experienced physiotherapist, outlines a simple, rational explanation for what is making you snore and have sleep apnea, shows you how to identify what faulty breathing patterns you have and teaches you how to change them, step-by-step, to a more normal breathing pattern. It is scientifically proven that you can 'retrain' your breathing. The first improvements are generally seen within hours. It is common for people to sleep better right from the first night.YOU CAN CHANGE THE WAY YOU BREATHE.The author, Tess Graham, has over 30 years' clinical experience in physiotherapy, with 23 years working exclusively with breathing-related disorders. She has helped thousands of sufferers of sleep-breathing disorders, many of whom had struggled to adjust to CPAP machines. Tess has been involved in medical research and is one of the few people directly accredited by the late Professor K.P. Buteyko in his method of breathing retraining. The approach she has developed is quick, gentle, highly effective and easily do-able for busy people, the highly anxious and stressed.The book contains case studies, including with pre-and post-breathing retraining sleep studies, showing the effectiveness of the breathing retraining approach with snoring and serious sleep apnea. You will find the information in this book inspiring, compelling and life changing. Visit TessGraham.com.au or BreatheAbility.com for more information including audio products. "This book is an invaluable resource. Its easy-to-follow program shows us how to breathe the way nature intended - silently, gently and rhythmically." Dr Ross G T Walker, FRACP. Consultant Cardiologist. "This book gives a full description of the technique for getting your breathing right as well as wonderful case studies of people who have been relieved from the debilitating effects of poor sleep, snoring and sleep apnoea. My patients have found it extremely helpful and I'm so pleased to have this resource to recommend to them." Dr Kim Glass, MB ChB.
