| bipap titration sleep study: Sleep Problems: Diagnosis, Biomarkers, Interventions, and Treatments Haitham Jahrami, Nina Christmann, 2023-10-25 Sleep medicine is a burgeoning field, owing to the fact that several sleep disorders may cause and/or exacerbate serious conditions like psychiatric disorders, cardiovascular disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and obesity and lead to an overall reduction of quality of life. Also, poor sleep increases community costs due to increased motor vehicle accidents and loss in productivity. Furthermore, while chronic sleep deprivation leads to a significant loss of quality of life, short-term sleep deprivation is a powerful therapeutic option for depression - which emphasises the very complex and still not fully understood interaction between the physiology of sleep and psychiatric disorders. |

| bipap titration sleep study: Movement Disorder Emergencies Steven J. Frucht, Stanley Fahn, 2008-02-10 Movement Disorder Emergencies: Diagnosis and Treatment provides a fresh and unique approach to what is already a high-profile subspecialty area in clinical neurology. The disorders covered in this volume are standard fare in the field but emphasize the urgencies and emergencies that can occur. One of the very attractive features of the field of movement disorders is that diagnosis is often based on unique visible and sometimes audible phenomenological symptoms and signs. Therefore, in this era of highly sophisticated laboratory and radiological diagnostic tools, the diagnosis of many movement disorders is still largely made in the clinic where pattern recognition is key. Crucial to astute clinical diagnosis is broad clinical experience. In short, you have to have seen one to recognize one! Patients with movement disorders nearly always present as outpatients but, as aptly recognized by Drs. Frucht and Fahn, this may include acute manifestations leading to emergency presentations, often in an emergency room setting, where they are very likely to be unrecognized and therefore poorly managed. The authors define an “emergency” movement disorder as one in which failure to promptly diagnose and treat may result in significant morbidity or mortality. However, they also stress the importance of certain “can’t miss” diagnoses such as Wilson’s disease, dopa-responsive dystonia, and Whipple’s disease in which delayed diagnosis in less emergent situations can lead to slowly evolving and often irreversible neurological damage with tragic consequences. |

| bipap titration sleep study: Living with Your Heart and Lungs Glenn Obst, Stanley Bryant, 2008-07-28 The field of cardiopulmonary medicine (heart and lungs) becomes more complex with every pandemic, each new disease (like Swine Flu, H1N1) and each medical breakthrough. Understanding the scope of your care and available treatment options has become staggering. With the imminent changes to our healthcare system, it is paramount that patients today become informed medical consumers. You, your family and loved ones will have limited financial/reimbursement resources to spend on medical care each year. Between advancements in medicine and the lack of control in medical malpractice law suits your healthcare provider is forced to practice defensive medicine. This practice has made medical care tremendously expensive. You and your loved ones must become informed medical consumers in order to spend your medical funds wisely. This book is your vital source of trusted information, conveniently presented in words that you and your loved ones can understand in order to make informed medical decisions. |
| bipap titration sleep study: Surgery for Sleep Disordered Breathing Karl Hörmann, Thomas Verse, 2010-03-01 Nasal continuous positive airway pressure ventilation is the gold standard in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. Long-term compliance rates are about 60%. Therefore, several alternative treatment options are of special interest. Beside conservative therapies, various surgical concepts exist. The field of surgery for sleep disordered breathing has rapidly grown with new instrumentation and surgical techniques in the last 10 years. Surgeons in these fields have to attend scientific meetings, participate in workshops, and read the literature to stay up to date. In our sleep laboratories we conduct 30 polysomnographies each night. Each year, we perform almost 1,000 surgical procedures for sleep disordered breathing apart from numerous other conservative and apparative treatment modalities. Referring to our expe- ence and the present literature, we tried to give new information on surgical techniques in this second edition. The chapters are grouped in different anatomical fields of interest. We wanted to give general advice and specific new hints for the surgery of sleep disordered breathing so that the reader learns basic techniques followed by more advanced surgery. In addition to the illustrated surgical descriptions, the chapters contain informations about indications and contraindications of each surgical procedure and the postoperative care. Special interest has been dedicated to evidence-based medicine. So in each chapter, there is a table of references summarizing the effectiveness of the procedure and EBM grade. |

| bipap titration sleep study: Anesthesiology and Otolaryngology Adam I. Levine, Satish Govindaraj, Samuel DeMaria, Jr., 2013-03-12 To an unusual degree, the shared “working space” of otolaryngologists and anesthesiologists means that issues important to one are important to the other. Anesthesiology and Otolaryngology is the first book to address the closely overlapping information needs of both groups of specialists. It is collaboratively written and edited by anesthesiologists and otolaryngologists, and the chapters are carefully designed to insure maximal relevance to members of both specialties. The heart of the book consists of chapters on managing patients during the full range of otolaryngologic procedures. These chapters are structured chronologically, and otolaryngologic and anesthesiologic perspectives are systematically presented for each operative stage. Foundational topics such as gross and radiographic anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology are covered. The book includes a unique chapter on oxygen delivery systems that serves as a comprehensive review for anesthesiologists and an overview for the otolaryngologist. Special topics addressed include acute and chronic pain management, and the logistics of managing an office-based surgical practice. · “All-in-one” reference for otolaryngologists and otolaryngologic anesthesiologists · Surgical and anesthesiologic perspectives marshaled for pre-operative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods · Pearls and Insights at end of chapters · Organized by surgical region · Special challenges of difficult airway and of pediatric otolaryngologic procedures addressed |
