Sleep apnea is characterized by recurrent upper airway obstruction, resulting in periodic apneic episodes that are associated with oxygen desaturation and frequent awakenings. This leads to daytime somnolence and, possibly, pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale. Tracheostomy has been the standard ...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by the repeated cessation of breathing during sleep due to obstruction or collapse of the upper airway. When this symptom occurs, the oxygen saturation of the blood decreases, and sleep is interrupted to breathe. This is also known as the “apnea ...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent episodes of complete or partial collapse of the upper airway during sleep, resulting in apnea or hypopnea, and is recognized as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease such as hypertension, heart failure, arrhythmia, and coronar...
Sleep apnea is a serious condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy is commonly prescribed to treat sleep apnea and help patients breathe more freely during sleep. A crucial component of CPAP therapy is the CPAP mask, which delivers the...
LivaNova's THN Sleep Therapy is an Obstructive Sleep Apnea implantable treatment. This CPAP alternative is designed to reduce or eliminate OSA.
Central sleep apneais characterized bycentral nervous systemdysfunction that results in diminished or absent respiratory effort that occurs in an intermittent or a cyclical fashion. Central sleep apnea may be associated with anatomic or genetic abnormalities, or environmental causes.29It is relatively rare...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by a history of habitual snoring and repeated nocturnal upper airway obstruction and is a highly prevalent sleep disorder (i.e., 2% of men and 4% of women)1,2. Notable sequelae of OSA are cardiovascular and metabolic consequences, including disturb...
Sleep apnea is a common yet often overlooked condition that can significantly impact an individual’s overall well-being. Characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep, this disorder both affects physical health and takes a toll on mental and emotional states. ...
