   Sammanfattning : Enthusiasm for uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) in the treatment of mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) has declined in recent years, partly because of a lower success rate over time and partly because of adverse effects. In more severe cases, the patients are generally treated with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). LÄS MER

3. 12. Psychometric aspects of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

   Författare :Martin Ulander; Eva Svanborg; Anders Broström; Göran Kecklund; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic disorder consisting of episodes with impaired breathing due to obstruction of the upper airways. Treatment with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a potentially effective treatment, but adherence is low. Several potential factors affecting adherence, e.g. LÄS MER

4. 13. Obesity, Sleep and Sleep-disordered Breathing

   Författare :Andreas Palm; Eva Lindberg; Christer Janson; Ludger Grote; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Sleep; Obesity; Obstructive Sleep Apnea; Obesity Hypoventilation syndrome; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Sleep problems are associated with impaired quality of life and daytime sleepiness. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS), are associated with metabolic changes and an increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. LÄS MER

5. 14. The preterm infant : evaluating and developing non-invasive respiratory strategies to avoid mechanical ventilation

   Författare :Snorri F Donaldsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Avoiding mechanical ventilation of preterm infants is important to prevent morbidity and mortality. Non-invasive ventilation and CPAP has been shown to be superior to intubation and mechanical ventilation in preventing chronic lung disease in very preterm infants.1 . CPAP for infants was first used in the early 70’s. LÄS MER

7. 15. Performance of NCPAP systems for neonatal use and development of a new system for infant resuscitation

   Författare :Thomas Drevhammar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Objective: Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is the most commonly used respiratory support for newborn infants. It is a technique for non-invasive respiratory support of both term and preterm infants with respiratory distress. LÄS MER
