Obstructive sleep apnea. A multidisciplinary approach

With an approach that covers from pathophysiology to treatment, the book explores key issues such as the diagnosis of AOS, respiratory disorders related to sleep and different treatment options, both surgical and non-surgical. In addition, it includes chapters dedicated to areas such as orofacial myofunctional therapy, sleep apnea in children, and relations between AOS and autoimmune, cardiovascular, neurological, among others. The work also highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, addressing how AOS can influence various medical specialties, including ophthalmology, dentistry, gynecology and gastroenterology. In addition, the implications of sleep apnea in public health, psychiatry and endocrinology are explored, which makes it an essential tool not only for specialists in sleep disorders, but also for general practitioners and other health professionals. This book offers a unique and valuable perspective on how AOS impacts patients globally, providing answers to crucial questions that doctors from different areas face daily. With a solid scientific basis and a practical approach, obstructive sleep apnea: a multidisciplinary approach is an essential reference for the diagnosis, management and treatment of AOS in patients of all ages and conditions of health.
