Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Children: An Evidence-Based, Multidisciplinary Approach provides researchers and practitioners with a complete and comprehensive source of information on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, management and controversies concerning sleep disordered breathing in infants. Written by an interdisciplinary team of authors, chapters consolidate information on the evaluation and management of pediatric sleep disordered breathing (SDB) currently fragmented across different specialties. Principles of surgery for SDB as well as non-medical approaches, such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) are covered, and a section dedicated to controversies in pediatric SDB discusses clinical cases and future trends for the treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea in children.

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.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) that is accessible to patients. OSA can have a significant and progressive impact on the lives of those who suffer from daytime sleepiness, but it is often not considered. Moreover, individuals with the condition are often unaware of it as it affects them during sleep. The book provides knowledge on appropriate pathways for investigation and treatment. The organization and clarity of the writing make it easy for readers who want quick information on diagnosis, symptoms, treatment, and more. The thorough history section covering anatomical evolution, the history of medicine, and modern-day medical and surgical advances will satisfy curious readers. Ample original hand-drawn diagrams increase the readability and approachability of the work, making pathophysiology and surgical procedures clear and accessible. The book also includes links and descriptions of up-to-date procedures, diagnostic techniques, and devices, guiding readers confidently towards other resources beyond the book for further information. Given its features, this guide will appeal also to general practitioners, ENT students, and OSA specialists.

This book provides a unique, detailed, and cutting-edge guide to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the epiglottis. It discusses in detail epiglottis collapse both as relevant for diagnosis (e.g., sleep studies, drug induced sleep endoscopy, imaging and sound analysis) and treatment of OSA. In addition to general information on OSA, the chapters explore the role of the epiglottis in evolution, swallowing function, pathophysiology and surgical anatomy. The central chapters deal with patient selection, diagnosis, indications, and contraindications. The last sections investigate non-surgical treatments, surgical techniques, their results, possible failures, and complications. A conclusive chapter discusses research and future perspectives. The volume offers a large number of high-quality photos and illustrations, and an extensive collection of educational videos that highlight all steps of the surgical procedures. The book will appeal to all caregivers working in the field of diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, in particular otolaryngologists, pulmonologists, neurologists, sleep doctors, maxillofacial surgeons, anesthetists, and also the personnel working in sleep labs, general nurses and scrub nurses, physician assistants, and sleep technicians.
