A surgically implanted tongue stimulation device that moves the tongue forward during sleep was found to safely and effectively reduce sleep apnea in adolescents with Down syndrome.
People with obstructive sleep apnea who continued CPAP therapy were 39% more likely to survive than OSA patients who didn’t, according to data at ERS 2021.
A Philips survey found 70% of people have experienced one or more new sleep challenges since the start of the pandemic and 72% of sleep apnea patients who discontinued CPAP therapy cited COVID-19 related reasons.
