Abstract | The goals of OSAS therapy are to improve daytime symptoms especially excessive sleepiness, prevent neurocognitve, metabolic and cardiovascular consequences and quality of life in patients with sleep apnea. A variety of therapy exist starting from general measures that include weight reduction, change in life style, postional therapy, oral devices, upper airway surgery and pharmacotherapy. However, CPAP has been demonstrated to be the most important and highly effective therapy in these disorders. CPAP therapy dramatically improves symptoms and decreases cadriovascular and metabolic consequences stoping the occurence of the apneas. Hoewer, not all patients tolerate CPAP especially patients with milder forms of the disease. The individualised approach wich pay attention to different phenotypes and genotype could select patients for selecitively acting treatment modalities such us mandibular advancement devices and electical stimulation of the upper airway muscles. |
