Obstructive apnea syndrome, i.e., obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome, needs to be treated according to the cause and the degree of the disease, general treatment, respiratory therapy, surgical treatment and so on.
1. Etiologic treatment: systematic treatment of underlying diseases that can cause and aggravate the disease is needed. Such as chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, deviated nasal septum, adenoid hypertrophy, tonsillar hypertrophy and other local diseases that lead to airway narrowing; abnormal upper airway dilatation muscle tone; abnormal respiratory center regulation; hypothyroidism, diabetes and other systemic diseases.
2. General treatment: Relief of symptoms through appropriate exercise, scientific weight reduction, discontinuation of sedative drugs such as lorazepam, and sleeping on the side.
3. Ventilator treatment: non-invasive positive pressure ventilation is the first choice for the treatment of this disease, and long-term effective treatment can significantly improve the related complications.
4. Surgery: For those with abnormal airway structure, nasal dilatation, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, anterior chin and tongue muscle displacement and anterior mandibular displacement can be chosen. For life-threatening respiratory insufficiency, tracheotomy can be used.
If you need to treat this disease, you need to consult the relevant specialties, complete the relevant examinations, and then follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized implementation.
