Definition
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
• repetitive partial or complete collapse of the
upper airway during sleep, resulting in
disruptions of normal sleep architecture and
usually associated with arterial desaturations

Epidemiology
OSAS 2-4% from general population
• Prevalence OSAS  men (3-7%) > woman (2-5%)

snoring  30-50% from general population


• can occur at any age,
• typically presents at the ages of 40-60 yo

Prevalence of OSAS in children 1-3%


•Prevalence of snoring in children higher  12%

Questionnaires :

• Child Health Questionarie Parent Form (CHQ-PF),


• Pediatric Sleep Questionaire (PSQ),
• Obstructive Sleep Disorder–6 (OSD-6), dan
• Obstructive Sleep Apnea-18 (OSA-18)

OSA-18  sensitivity 95% and specificity of 90%, so it is accurate to use as a


single questionnaire to measure sleep-disordered breathing.

Pharmacologic therapy
• Drugs that Increase Respiratory Drive:
medroxyprogesterone (Cycrin, Provera) ;
Protriptilyne (Vivactil)
• Serotonin
Paroxetine (Paxil, Paxeva)
• Etanercept (Enbrel)
• Modafinil

Max H, in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Diagnosis & Treatment, Informa Healthcare , New york, 2007
Pharmacologic therapy

• Modafinil (100-200mg ) is approved by the US FDA


>>> in patient with residual daytime sleepiness
despite optimal use of cpap
• Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor agents such as
paroxetine (Paxil) and fluoxetine (Prozac)>> increasing
genioglossal muscle activity and decrease rem sleep
(apneas are more common in REM)

Treatment of Nasal Obstruction
• Nasal obstruction is an independent risk factor for
both snoring and OSA
• Related with nasal congestion
• Topical nasal steroid therapy improved subjective
sleep quality
• Brouillette et al. reported a reduction in the AHI from
10.7 to 5.8 with fluticasone nasal spray in a selected
group of pediatric patients
• Nasal decongestan

Bailey, Byron J. Head & Neck Surgery - Otolaryngology, 5th Edition, 2014
Treatment of Hypothyroidism
• Hypothyroidism ---- weight gain, tongue
enlargement, muscle dysfunction
• Synthetic thyroid hormone levothyroxine

Max H, in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Diagnosis & Treatment, Informa Healthcare , New york, 2007
Treatment of Acromegaly
• Acromegaly characterized by hypersecretion of
growth hormone
• Sleep apnea result form structural abnormalities
induced by GH leading to upper airway narrowing,
and increased respiratory drive leading to breathing
instability due to increased gain of the respiratory
controller
• Treatment with ocreotide (sandostatin) may lead to
improvement of sleep disordered breathing
Max H, in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Diagnosis & Treatment, Informa Healthcare , New york, 2007
Positive Airway Pressure
• PAP systems consist of a generator that directs
airflow downstream to the patient via tubing and an
interface.
• Positive pressure is introduced into the upper airway
providing a pneumatic splint through the entire
length of the collapsible pharyngeal segment and
thus maintaining airway patency and effective
control of breathing.

Bailey, Byron J. Head & Neck Surgery - Otolaryngology, 5th Edition, 2014
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
• First modality described and still the most
widely used.
• This modality delivers the same pressure to
the patient during both inspiration and
expiration and remains unchanged throughout
the night

Bailey, Byron J. Head & Neck Surgery - Otolaryngology, 5th Edition, 2014
Bilevel Positive Pressure
• Bilevel positive pressure (BIPAP) provide the ability to
independently adjust the inspiratoty (IPAP) and
expiratoty (EPAP) pressure such that the pressure
delivered during exhalation is lower than that
delivered during inhalation
• Two modes:
 S-Mode
 ST-mode

Bailey, Byron J. Head & Neck Surgery - Otolaryngology, 5th Edition, 2014
Autotitrating Continuous Positive
Airway Pressure
• Autotitrating device employ computer algorithms to
detect changes in airflow and adjust the delivered
pressure accordingly.
• Autotitrating devices are available in both
autotitrating continuous positive airway pressure
(APAP) and autotitrating BIPAP (auto bilevel) forms.

PAP Interfaces: Examples of the three most common categories of mask Interfaces for
positive pi'QSsure 1herapy are depleted: (A) nasal pillows, (I) nasal mask_ and (C) full-
face mask

Bailey, Byron J. Head & Neck Surgery - Otolaryngology, 5th Edition, 2014
Oral Appliance
Mandibular Repositioning Appliance (MAD)
• most commonly used type of oral appliance
• a nontitratable type and a titratable type

Tongue Retaining Device (TRD)


• holds the tongue forward in a suction bulb mechanism
• a viable option in edentulous patients

Thermoplastic Splints
• improved mandibular advancement
• less side effects and noncompliance compared to boiland-
bite thermoplastic appliances
Types of oral appliances: A:. The TAP device Is an effective, commonly Used, tltratable
MRA. B: MRA In place. C: The TRD a less common appliance that uses a suction bulb
to keep the tongue protruded during sleep. D: TRD In place

Bailey, Byron J. Head & Neck Surgery - Otolaryngology, 5th Edition, 2014
Effectiveness

Effect of oral appliances on the airway: Lateral cephalometric radiograph in a patient


with OSA. before (A) and after {B) application of a MAD. Note the enlargement of the
pharyngeal airway with the oral appliance at both the retrolingual and retropalatal
portions of the airway.

Bailey, Byron J. Head & Neck Surgery - Otolaryngology, 5th Edition, 2014
Weight Loss
• Histopathologic analysis of the tongue has revealed
that obesity is associated with increased lingual fat
deposition and increased size and weight of the
tongue
• weight loss  significant reduction in the size of the
parapharyngeal fat pads and an increase in the
volume of the upper airway

Bailey, Byron J. Head & Neck Surgery - Otolaryngology, 5th Edition, 2014
Relationship between Weight change and AHI

Bailey, Byron J. Head & Neck Surgery - Otolaryngology, 5th Edition, 2014
Weight Loss
• Diet & exercise:
Low calori diet, weight-bearing for more than 20
minutes five days a week
• Pharmacological:
Aminorex (Menocil), dexfenfluramine (Fen-Phen),
Orlistat (Xenical), Sibutramine (Meridia)
• Bariatric
Positional Therapy
• lateral sleeping position
• Head of bed elevation, or postural therapy
• Critical dosing pressure has been shown to be
more negative, signifying greater upper airway
stability

Bailey, Byron J. Head & Neck Surgery - Otolaryngology, 5th Edition, 2014
Oxygen Therapy
• Oxygen therapy may also be combined with
positive pressure therapy.
• Selected OSA patients with other confounding
conditions such as obesity hypoventilation,
CHE or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) may benefit from supplemental
oxygen

Bailey, Byron J. Head & Neck Surgery - Otolaryngology, 5th Edition, 2014
Oropharyngeal Exercise
• OSA patients have increased genioglossus
muscle activity during wakefulness; this
compensation is lost during sleep
• These findings may serve as the basis for
improvement in OSA with oropharyngeal
exercises
regular didgeridoo playing

Bailey, Byron J. Head & Neck Surgery - Otolaryngology, 5th Edition, 2014
Behavioral Modification
• Sleep deprivation may predispose to or
worsen existing OSA

• Maladaptive behaviors that may negatively


impact sleep quality and quantity include
caffeine, alcohol or nicotine consumption,
insufficient sleep duration, shift work or a
poor sleeping environment

Medical Therapy for OSA
47

HIGHLIGHTS
• OSA is the most common sleep-related respiratory
disturbance in both children and adults and as a
worldwide problem
• Successful management of patients with OSA
requires a comprehensive sleep history and
examination, proper diagnostic evaluation, and an
individualized approach that takes into account each
patient's unique presentation and considers all
available and applicable treatment options.

5/17/2019
HIGHLIGHTS
• First-line therapy for OSA is PAP therapy. Oral
appliances can also provide adequate therapy
for select patients with OSA.
• Other treatment options can play an
important role as well and include weight loss,
smoking cessation, behavioral medications,
positional therapy, treatment nasal
obstruction
