Abstract:
Surgical treatments are important options for adult obstructive sleep apnea, especially when the treatment compliance of continuous positive airway pressure, the first-line treatment, is poor. Currently, there are several surgical procedures that had been used in treating this disease in clinical work, including nasal surgery, velopharyngeal surgery, glossopharyngeal surgery, maxillofacial surgery, bariatric surgery, and nerve stimulation surgery. These procedures involve different specialties and have varying indications. Selecting an appropriate surgical procedure basing on individual characteristics and treatment preferences is crucial for alleviating the severity of the disease.

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
