Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Role of an Otorhinolaryngologist

Abstract: Obstructive sleep apnea is a disorder resulting from collapse of the upper airway during sleep. Its etiology is multifactorial, resulting from the interdependence of structurally vulnerable upper airway anatomy interacting with physiologic mechanism of ventilator instability during sleep. The ENT causes for OSA are relatively simple conditions that can be treated by safe and simple medical and/or surgical procedures. To assess the prevalence of ENT disorders in patients presenting to the sleep clinic. Patients… Show more

“…This corroborates the data reported in the present review as rhinitis was shown to have the lowest AHI. On the other hand, NSD demonstrated the poorest PSG findings, which may explain its association with OSA 63 . Ultimately, impaired sleep quality could be seen in all of the rhinologic conditions reviewed and, in some cases, of similar severity to that seen with OSA.…”

“…The results of this study are consistent with the results of previous studies conducted by Jinesh, which showed a significant relationship between the septum deviation with OSAS. 15 Septum deviation will obstruct the nose which causes an increase in resistance to airflow, which can lead to sleep disturbance and OSAS. 16…”

“…Scoring depends on the visibility of anatomical structures in the oropharynx, and Mallampati scores are distributed as follows ( Figure 1 ): 1, the soft palate and entire uvula are visible; 2, the soft palate, hard palate, and upper portion of the uvula are visible; 3, the soft palate; hard palate; and base of the uvula are visible; 4, only the hard palate is visible. For every 1-point increase in the Mallampati score, the odds of having OSA, increased by more than 1.5 folds [ 23 ].…”
