Definition of OSA

RDI>5

RDI > 20 increases risk of mortality

RDI 20-40=moderate, >40=severe

Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome

Shares pathophysiology with OSA

No desaturation, continuous ventilatory effort

Airway size:


Sites of Obstruction:

Obstruction tends to propagate


Sites of Obstruction:


Symptoms of OSA

Snoring (most commonly noted complaint)

Daytime Sleepiness

Hypertension and Cardiovascular Disease are Associated

Pulmonary Disease


Findings in Obstruction:

Nasal Obstruction

Long, thick soft palate

Retrodisplaced Mandible

Narrowed oropharynx

Redundant pharyngeal tissues

Large lingual tonsil

Large tongue

Large or floppy Epiglottis

Retro-displaced hyoid complex


Tests to determine site of obstruction:

Mullers Maneuver

Sleep endoscopy

Fluoroscopy

Manometry

Cephalometrics

Dynamic CT scanning and MRI scanning

Medical Management

Weight Loss

Nasal Obstruction

Sedative Avoidance

Smoking cessation

Medical Management

CPAP

Pressure must be individually titrated

Compliance is as low as 50%

Air leakage, eustachian tube dysfunction, noise, mask discomfort, claustrophobia

Medical Management

BiPAP

Useful when > 6 cm H2O difference in inspiratory and expiratory pressures

No objective evidence demonstrates improved compliance over CPAP

Nonsurgical Management

Oral appliance

Mandibular advancement device

Tongue retaining device

Nonsurgical Management

Oral Appliances

May be as effective as surgical options, especially with sx worse on patients back

However low compliance rate of about 60% in study by Walker et al in 2002 rendered it a worse treatment modality than surgical procedures

Surgical Management

Measures of success

No further need for medical or surgical therapy

Response = 50% reduction in RDI

Reduction of RDI to < 20

Reduction in arousals and daytime sleepiness

Surgical Management

Perioperative Issues

High risk in patients with severe symptoms

Associated conditions of HTN, CVD

Nasal CPAP often required after surgery

Nasal CPAP before surgery improves postoperative course

Risk of pulmonary edema after relief of obstruction

Surgical Management

Tracheostomy Primary treatment modality

Temporary treatment while other surgery is done

Thatcher GW. et al: tracheostomy leads to quick reduction in sequelae of OSA, few complications (see table II)

Once placed, uncommon to decannulate

Thatcher GW. Maisel RH. The long-term evaluation of tracheostomy in the management of severe obstructive sleep apnea. [Journal Article] Laryngoscope. 113(2):201-4, 2003 Feb.

Surgical Management

Nasal Surgery

Limited efficacy when used alone

Verse et al 2002 showed 15.8% success rate when used alone in patients with OSA and day-time nasal congestion with snoring (RDI

Surgical Management

Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty

Surgical Management

Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty The most commonly performed surgery

for OSA

Severity of disease is poor outcome predictor

Levin and Becker (1994) up to 80% initial success decreased to 46% success rate at 12 months

Friedman et al showed a success rate of 80% at 6 months in carefully selected patients Friedman M, Ibrahim H, Bass L. Clinical staging

Surgical Management

UP3 Complications

Minor

Transient VPI

Hemorrhage

Surgical Management

Cahali, 2003 proposed the Lateral Pharyngoplasty for patients with significant lateral narrowing:

Surgical Management

Lateral Pharyngoplasty

Surgical Managment

Lateral Pharyngoplasty

Median apnea-hypopnea index decreased from 41.2 to 9.5 (P = .009)

No control group

No evaluation at 12 months

Surgical Management

Laser Assisted Uvulopalatoplasty

High initial success rate for snoring

Rates decrease, as for UP3 at twelve months

Performed awake

Surgical Management

Radiofrequency Ablation Fischer et al 2003

Radiofrequency device is inserted into various parts of palate, tonsils and tongue base at various thermal energies

Surgical Management

Fischer et al 2003

At 6 months Showed significant reduction of:

RDI (but not to below 20)

Arousals

Daytime sleepiness by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale

Surgical Management

Tongue Base Procedures

Lingual Tonsillectomy

may be useful in patients with hypertrophy, but usually in conjunction with other procedures

Surgical Management

Tongue Base Procedures Lingualplasty

Chabolle, et al success rate of 77% (RDI

Surgical Management

Mandibular Procedures

Genioglossus Advancement

Rarely performed alone

Increases rate of efficacy of other procedures

Transient incisor paresthesia

Surgical Management

Lingual Suspension:

Surgical Management

Hyoid Myotomy and Suspension

Advances hyoid bone anteriorly and inferiorly

Advances epiglottis and base of tongue

Performed in conjunction with other procedures

Dysphagia may result

Surgical Management

Maxillary-Mandibular Advancement

Severe disease

Failure with more conservative measures

Midface, palate, and mandible advanced anteriorly

Limited by ability to stabilize the segments and aesthetic facial changes

Surgical Management

Maxillary-Mandibular Advancement

Performed in conjunction with oral surgeons

Surgical Management

Algorithms

Studies efficacy of various algorithms

Therapy should be directed toward presumed site of obstruction

This does not always guarantee results

Surgical Management

Algorithms Riley et al 1992

Studied 2 phase approach for multilevel site of obstruction (Stanford Protocol): Phase 1: Genioglossal advancement, hyoid

myotomy and advancement, UP3

Phase 2: Maxillary-Mandibular advancement in 6 months if phase 1 failed

Reported >90% success rate in patients who completed both phases

Other studies have lowered this number

Testing is done at 6 months
