Primary tabs

Liistro, Giuseppe [UCL]

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) syndrome is a chronic disease characterised by repetitive obstructive apnoeas and hypopnoeas during sleep leading to sleep fragmentation. The treatment of OSA consists of general and specific measures. The aim of this article is to review the different non surgical approaches to treat OSA in adults. The different therapeutical options can be used in combination, which underlines that the OSA patient needs a careful and multidisciplinary management.
