  • Title: The management of obstructive sleep apnea in adults.
    Author: Katsantonis G.
    Journal: Mo Med; 2008; 105(3):262-6. PubMed ID: 18630308.
    Abstract:
    Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent, complete or partial airway closure during sleep. It is a potentially hazardous condition and appropriate treatment should be strongly advised to all OSA patients. The primary mode of OSA management is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (C-Pap). Asignificant number of OSA patients can be also managed successfully with surgery by a variety of newer surgical techniques which emphasize a more physiologic and less morbid surgical approach to the upper airway.
