Sindromul obstructiv de apnee în somn, diagnostic și tratament ORL

Abstract

Tulburările de somn trebuie recunoscute, diagnosticate şi tratate, întrucât pot avea consecinţe grave psiho-comportamentale, cardiovasculare, metabolice, care pot influenţa performanţele intelectuale şi relaţiile sociale. Sindromul obstructiv de apnee în somn (SOAS) reprezintă un set de semne și simptome provocate de opriri (apnee) sau încetiniri (hipopneea) ale fluxului respirator în timpul somnului. Diagnosticul și deciziile privind tratamentul SOAS necesită luarea în considerare a factorilor de risc potențiali, severitatea și impactul simptomelor pacientului, comorbiditățile medicale, plus numărul de evenimente de respirație dezordonate în somn și severitatea desaturației oxigenului detectată în timpul monitorizării somnului peste noapte. Tratamentului sindromului de apnee în somn variază în funcţie de severitatea bolii. Corectarea defectelor de la nivelul sferei ORL, prin aplicația laserului, constituie cea mai modernă metodă de abordare minim invazivă.

Sleep disorders should be recognized, diagnosed and treated, because they can have serious psycho-behavioral, cardiovascular, metabolic consequences, and can influence intellectual performance and social relationships. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) represents a set of signs and symptoms caused by stops (apnea) or slow downs (hypopnea) of respiratory flow during sleep. The diagnosis and decisions regarding treatment of OSAS require consideration of potential risk factors, severity and impact of patient’s symptoms, medical comorbidities, plus the number of sleep-disordered breathing events and severity of oxygen desaturation detected during overnight sleep monitoring. Treatment of sleep apnea syndrome varies depending on the severity of the disease. Correction of the defects from the ENT sphere, through the laser application, is the most modern method of minimally invasive approach.Sleep disorders should be recognized, diagnosed and treated, because they can have serious psycho-behavioral, cardiovascular, metabolic consequences, and can influence intellectual performance and social relationships.
