Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by episodes of a complete airway collapse or a partial collapse with an associated decrease in oxygen saturation or arousal from sleep. Other symptoms include loud, disruptive snoring, witnessed apneas during sleep, and excessive daytime sleepiness. This disturbance results in fragmented, nonrestorative sleep. OSA has significant implications for cardiovascular health, mental illness, quality of life, and driving safety.Activity participants explore the cause, risk factors, pathophysiology, and evaluation and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. Learners gain insights into the latest advancements in diagnostic techniques, such as polysomnography and home sleep apnea testing, and evidence-based treatment modalities, including continuous positive airway pressure therapy, oral appliances, and surgical interventions. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, healthcare professionals enhance their competence in managing OSA, fostering effective communication and teamwork among sleep specialists, pulmonologists, otolaryngologists, dentists, and other relevant professionals. This collaborative approach ensures comprehensive care delivery and improves patient outcomes in obstructive sleep apnea management.
