Considéré à tort comme un simple désagrément social, familial ou conjugal, le ronflement est un symptôme qui peut révéler des maladies potentiellement graves, tels que le syndrome d'apnées du sommeil ou le syndrome de haute résistance des voies aérodigestives supérieures pouvant conduire à de sévères morbidités cardiovasculaires et neuropsychiques. Face à ce grave problème de santé publique, le médecin généraliste doit savoir diagnostiquer, dès la première consultation, un ronfleur simple d'un ronfleur en danger vital afin de l'orienter éventuellement vers le spécialiste qui déterminera la prise en charge adaptée. De l'enfant au sujet âgé, cet ouvrage donne toutes les clés pour mener un examen clinique et un interrogatoire précis conduisant au bon diagnostic. Après un rappel des aspects fondamentaux du ronflement, des examens cliniques et complémentaires, cet abrégé précise les stratégies thérapeutiques à la disposition du praticien (chirurgie, traitement par ventilation, traitement par orthèse, etc.).

The treatment of sleep disordered breathing has been enriched by the development of various new and largely surgical techniques. The question of which treatment best suits each individual patient has become a highly sophisticated decision. Among others, the most important factors for selecting the most appropriate treatment modality are the cruelty of the disease, the pathology found within the upper airway, and the sites of obstruction. Therefore, the second edition of this book focuses on both the surgical treatment modalities and the current concepts for treatment decisions. For each procedure, current data (including data for the entirety of 2007) were reanalyzed according to the principles of evidence-based medicine, and are presented in well-arranged tables. Indications, techniques, complications, and specific follow-up treatments in the realm of sleep medicine have been compiled in the form of a primer. New chapters concerning radiofrequency-uvulopalatoplasty and combined soft palate procedures were added. Both authors run prominent otolaryngological sleep laboratories, and perform approximately 1,500 surgical sleep medicine procedures per year. The complete surgical and sleep medicine expertise of the authors, as well as the experience of numerous international courses on sleep surgery, have been incorporated into this volume, making it an indispensable textbook for sleep medicine surgeons.
