Dr. Charles Czeisler, a sleep expert at Harvard University, once said, “Life is like a burning candle. Dr. Charles Czeisler, a sleep expert at Harvard University, once said, “Life is like a burning candle, and without a good night’s sleep, it is like a candle burning from both ends at the same time”, which is the best interpretation of the importance of sleep. About one-third of a person’s life is spent in sleep, and the quality of sleep directly affects the quality of a person’s existence and quality of life. With the development of the economy and the advancement of urbanization, the pace of life of modern people has been accelerating, and their lifestyles have changed significantly. The tension of work, frequent interactions, pressure of competition, mental burden and interpersonal friction have caused more and more people to suffer from sleep disorders. According to the survey statistics of the World Health Organization, it is found that 27% of the people have sleep problems, of which at least 80% belong to the category of sleep breathing disorder (snoring), and a considerable number of people do not get reasonable diagnosis and treatment. Entering into the 21st century, people’s health awareness has never been higher, and the new concept of “only with health can we have everything” has been deeply rooted in people’s hearts, therefore, the problem of sleep has attracted the attention of the international community. According to a survey conducted by the World Health Organization on 25,916 patients in primary care in 15 regions of 14 countries, it was found that 27% of them had sleep problems, and the incidence of snoring among sleep disorders was at least 80%. Snoring can occur at any age, with 20% of men and 5% of women aged 30-35 snoring, and 60% of men and 40% of women aged 60 and above snoring, for a total prevalence of 4-7%. The negative impact of sleep disorders on quality of life is significant, but a significant number of patients are not properly diagnosed and treated. Sleep disorders have now become a prominent problem threatening the public around the world. In order to draw people’s attention to the importance of sleep and sleep quality, the International Foundation for Mental Health and Neuroscience launched a global sleep and health program in 2001 and designated March 21st of each year as “World Sleep Day”. The theme of World Sleep Day 2013 in China is “Care for Sleep, Care for Heart”. Coronary heart disease is the “No. 1 killer of human beings” and is one of the diseases that seriously jeopardize human health. Statistics show that the number of people who die of various coronary heart diseases in China is more than 1 million every year, among which, 30% of the people who die suddenly in the middle of sleep, whose main culprit is the sleep apnea caused by snoring, which makes the obstructive sleep apnea (snoring) become the terrible “dream killer”. What we usually call snoring, the full name should be: Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypoventilation Syndrome (OSAHS), the cause of its pathogenesis is due to the anatomical narrowing of the upper airway or bloated tissues, in the sleep of the upper airway muscle tone decreases, prompting the collapse of local tissues, when the airway is completely blocked, it will lead to sleep apnea occurs, and occurs in part of the obstruction of the airway will lead to the occurrence of hypoventilation. The frequent occurrence of respiratory events during sleep (apnea, hypoventilation with respiratory effort-related microarousals) ultimately leads to hypoxemia, which results in a series and cascade of pathophysiologic responses. The symptoms of snoring are characterized by both nighttime and daytime clinical manifestations: snoring with breath-holding during sleep and daytime sleepiness. Overnight polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome, and apnea hypopnea index (AHI) and lowest oxygen saturation (LSaO2) are the two internationally recognized indicators of its severity, which should be treated as soon as possible once the diagnosis is confirmed. OSAHS can lead to systemic multi-organ and multi-system damage, and is the source of many serious diseases. The U.S. National Sleep Disorders Research Council reported that 38,000 people in the U.S. die each year from cardiovascular diseases associated with sleep disordered breathing (1995). Domestic and foreign studies have found that OSAHS is one of the independent risk factors for hypertension and diabetes mellitus, and clinically, many patients with difficult-to-control hypertension can achieve unexpected results after effective control of sleep apnea, and some of the patients can even stop taking antihypertensive medication; in addition, sleep hypoxemia can lead to insulin resistance, which can lead to the occurrence of type II diabetes mellitus or aggravate the diabetes mellitus In short, effective treatment of OSAHS can significantly reduce the mortality caused by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In addition, snoring can bring a series of social problems due to its serious complications, such as: affecting family harmony, husband and wife relationship and even increasing the incidence of production and traffic accidents. According to the conservative estimate of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the U.S., up to 100,000 highway crashes in the U.S. are reported every year due to driver sleepiness and fatigue, and most of the main causes are related to snoring. Snoring seriously jeopardizes people’s physical and mental health, and has become a social problem that cannot be ignored. Faced with such a grim reality, we should actively take effective and targeted interventions while further strengthening our health awareness and awakening people’s understanding of the dangers of snoring diseases. Once a snorer is diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypoventilation Syndrome (OSAHS), he or she should be actively treated, and at the same time, due to the complex pathogenesis and individual differences of OSAHS, its treatment is different from that of other diseases. Professor Kong Weijia, Director of Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Union Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (UHZU), has put forward the concept of individualized programmed comprehensive treatment of OSAHS since 2008, which is to formulate a targeted individualized and ready treatment plan for different patients, different conditions and different anatomical features.The treatment of OSAHS mainly consists of the following: Behavioral treatment (weight control, sleeping on the side), Instrumental interventions (continuous positive pressure ventilation, oral appliances, etc.) and surgery. Proper selection of options and standardized treatment is the key to the effectiveness of snoring treatment. Snoring is a disease, sweet sleep is a guarantee of health, let us work together, may the world no snoring, the world sleep well!
