Obstructive Sleep Apnea What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a condition in which a patients breathing passage seals during sleep, causing the patient to stop breathing. Apnea is Greek for “without breath”. The body responds to this lack of oxygen by arousing, or ...
Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder. Most patients are referred to sleep clinics because of snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness and witnessed apneas. Obesity, male sex, older age, and family history are recognized risk factors for sleep apnea. The cardiovascular and neurocogni-tive ...
Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing ceases and restarts repeatedly during sleep. Apnea is where breathing stops temporarily. Sometimes in sleep apnea the air inflow is severely decreased but does not stop altogether and this is known as sleep hypopnea. There are three types of sleep apnea ...

There are several treatments for obstructive sleep apnoea. Zhang suggests that overweight patients need to lose weight first; treatment with a mandibular advancement device (i.e. an oral appliance) is suitable for patients with obvious mandibular retrusion; palate treatment is another option for patie...

Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA) is defined as complete or partial airway obstruction causing intermittent cessation of breathing during sleep. That will lead to intermittent hypoxemia, hypercapnia, microarousals, and disconnected sleep.63,64Studies report that more than 60% of stroke patients have OSA.65...
