On-demand Program: “Advances in OSA Management: Treatment of Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea”

As part of its Better Outcomes Webinar Series, Saxe Communications & Philips* present…a new On-demand program… “Advances in OSA Management: Treatment of Positional
Obstructive Sleep Apnea”

Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea (POSA) is not a new disorder. It has long been recognized that sleep position can affect the severity of OSA. Positional therapy, along with weight management, is one of the most commonly used methods for treating POSA patients. There are many sleep devices on the market today to prevent sleeping in the supine position, however, they are not without limitations. Today, we will discuss just how far we have come since treating POSA patients with the tennis ball technique.

Learning Objectives | At the end of this session, participants should be able to:

  1. Discuss the limitations of existing positional devices used to treat Positional OSA patients
  2. Describe new technological therapy treatment for Positional OSA
  3. Discuss how to screen POSA patients for Positional therapy
  4. Describe best practices for prescribing Night Balance to patients with POSA.
