Management of Sleep Disorders – Sleep Technology on Surgical Concepts and Instruments

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Introduction to Modern Sleep Technology

Part of the book series: Intelligent Systems, Control and Automation: Science and Engineering ((ISCA,volume 64))

Abstract

We can always rely on sleep technology for continual update and improvement in the way we evaluate and manage sleep disorders, most especially in the realm of the sleep related breathing disorder that is obstructive sleep apnea. In this day and age of evidence-based medicine however, sleep technology should guide us in our quest of continuously providing the best care that we can give to our patients. Evaluation of the upper airway, although initially elusive, is now better understood as a result of sleep technology. This in turn will coach the sleep surgeon in designing a type of upper airway surgery, the precise location/s of which may predict a better treatment success.
