Pregunta:

How do we treat OSA?

Autor: H K



Respuesta:

Positive airway pressure therapy (splinting open upper airway, reduces AHI to zero) No effective pharmacology to treat it Weight loss improves it severely, reducing alcohol intake before bedtime, avoiding sedator medication, and supine posture CPAP therapy (positive airway pressure) oral appliance (exerting traction of mandible) Upper airway surgery (maxillomandibular advancement improves AHI, patients not tolerating CPAP, maybe soft palatal procedure, tonsillectomy...)
