Abstract:
Sleep-related breathing disorders range from habitual snoring to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The prevalence of habitual snoring is high and up to 60 % depending on age, sex and body weight. However, in contrast to habitual snoring obstructive sleep apnea syndrome may be associated with medical complications. The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea is 2 – 5 % of the adult population. The article presents an overview of the diagnostic and therapeutic options. Continous positiv pressure therapy (CPAP) is the standard treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. However, long-term compliance of CPAP therapy is limited. Alternative therapeutic possibilities are presented and discussed.
