阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停评估与治疗方法的研究进展

Novel advances in assessment and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea

目前用于评估阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)的指标是呼吸暂停低通气指数(AHI)和夜间最低血氧饱和度,但它们不能全面反映疾病的严重程度;治疗OSA的方法仅有持续气道正压通气、口腔矫治器和手术,方法有限且治疗依从性差。因此,需要探索更有效的评估指标和治疗新策略,本文将系统阐述近年来OSA评估与治疗方法的新进展。

The current indicators for assessing obstructive sleep apnea are sleep apnea-hypopnea index(AHI)and the lowest nocturnal oxygen saturation,but they do not comprehensively reflect the severity of the disease.The main treatments for OSA are continuous positive airway pressure,mandibular advancement devices and surgery,which have poor compliance and limited effectiveness.Therefore,there is a need to explore novel methods to assess and treat OSA.This article systematically summarized recent advances in this field.
