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.

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.

Ook vannacht liggen er weer een paar honderdduizend partners wakker. Sommigen zijn al voor de zekerheid in een andere kamer gaan slapen. Snurken is een serieus probleem: er zijn naar schatting een miljoen stevige snurkers in Nederland! Maar weinigen zien aanleiding om met het snurken naar de dokter te gaan. Belangrijkste reden: men denkt 'dat er toch niets aan te doen is.' En dat is niet waar! Iedere snurker zou zich bovendien moeten afvragen of hij geen apneu heeft: ademstilstand tijdens het slapen. Mensen met apneu lopen serieuze (gezondheids)risico's. Deze tweede editie van het boek Leven met snurken en apneu is onderdeel van de serie Leven met, waarin lichamelijke aandoeningen worden behandeld en waarbij ook aandacht wordt gegeven aan de psychosociale aspecten.
