This book by leading international experts provides an evidence-based approach to electrical stimulation of the upper airway, beginning with patient selection, implant techniques, trouble shootings, patient pathways, titrations during daytime and sleep as also new innovative techniques such as stimulation of the ansa cervicalis and the phrenic nerve. Key Features: nbsp;      Superbly illustrated schematic drawings and full-colored photographs;nbsp;      Step-by-step description of surgical concepts and techniques on all of the market available systems (Inspire, Nyxoah, LivaNova, Remede);nbsp;      Complete online media library with videos on the surgical procedures;nbsp;      New surgical steps presented for well established procedures (e.g. 2-incicions technique);nbsp;      Discussion of outcomes, success rates, risks, and potential troubleshooting's, where evidenced-based data are not available, expert opinion is provided.  Upper Airway Stimulation in Obstructive Sleep Apnea will be welcomed by residents, fellows, and board-certified surgeons in otorhinolaryngology and head and neck surgery.

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.Clinicians, students and researchers will find this comprehensive guide to be an invaluable resource for evaluating and treating sleep breathing disorders.
