Summary
Personalized care improves outcomes for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A patient-centered approach, incorporating individual needs and values, is key for effective chronic care management and better treatment adherence.
Area of Science:
- Sleep Medicine
- Patient-Centered Care
Background:
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent, with significant neurocognitive, cardiovascular, and metabolic risks.
- Effective OSA treatment necessitates active patient engagement.
- Patient diversity in phenotype, needs, and values impacts treatment decisions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review a patient-centered care approach for obstructive sleep apnea.
- To highlight the importance of personalized treatment decisions integrating patient biology, values, and preferences.
- To shift focus towards chronic care management in OSA.
Main Methods:
- Review of patient-centered care principles for OSA.
- Emphasis on shared decision-making incorporating patient values and preferences.
- Strategies for enhancing patient education, support, engagement, and care coordination.
Main Results:
- Personalized treatment decisions, considering individual patient biology, values, and preferences, can improve outcomes.
- A structured patient-centered approach addresses diverse patient needs in OSA management.
- Optimizing care coordination and access is crucial for effective OSA chronic care.
Conclusions:
- Implementing a patient-centered care model is essential for optimizing obstructive sleep apnea management.
- Shared decision-making and personalized treatment plans enhance patient adherence and outcomes.
- Focusing on patient-specific needs and values transforms OSA from diagnosis to chronic care.

641
Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing stops intermittently during sleep, often leading to significant health issues. Each episode can last from 10 to 20 seconds or more and is frequently accompanied by a brief arousal from sleep. This disturbance, largely unnoticed by the individual, can lead to severe daytime fatigue. Commonly, individuals seek help after being informed by their partners about loud snoring and noticeable breathing pauses during sleep.

3.2K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned...

Managing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) involves a multifaceted approach to reduce symptoms, prevent exacerbations, improve overall health status, and slow disease progression. Key strategies include lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, supportive therapies, and, in some cases, surgery. Here is an overview of the primary COPD management strategies:

Respiratory assessment is a cornerstone of nursing assessments, crucial for the early detection of patient deterioration. This evaluation transcends routine procedures, representing a critical skill nurses must master to ensure optimal patient care.
Objectives and Importance:
The primary goal of respiratory assessment is to evaluate patients at early risk of clinical deterioration. Since respiratory distress often precedes other signs of declining health, breathing patterns and sounds become a...

Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) are essential methods in respiratory care. These ventilation techniques offer unique benefits for patients with various respiratory conditions, providing adequate support without requiring intubation. Let's explore how each method is crucial in improving patient outcomes and enhancing respiratory therapy.
