Management of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

Abstract: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) describes the pathological narrowing and collapse of the upper airway in recurrent episodes during sleep. This can result in a variety of symptoms that markedly affect quality of life. In addition, other chronic complications, most significantly the development of long‐term cardiovascular disease, are increasingly becoming recognised.

“…20,21 Aging is also associated with an increased risk of OSA. 9 Elderly patients tend to have a longer pharyngeal airway due to increased length of the soft palate, 22 an inferiorly located hyoid bone, a smaller cross-sectional area at the retropalatal and retroglossal regions, 23 and an increased parapharyngeal fat pad volume. 22 These changes can result in increased airway resistance and, therefore, increase the risk of airway collapse.…”

“…The part of the airway between these two areas is highly dependent on the resultant intraluminal (inside the pharynx) and extraluminal (outside the pharynx) pressures, as well as the activity and tone of the pharyngeal muscle. 9 If extraluminal pressure exceeds intraluminal pressure, the airway narrows or collapses. Upper airway stability and patency are dependent on normal rhythmical actions of the oropharyngeal dilator and abductor muscles during inspiration.…”
