ABSTRACT Recently, attention to oral appliance therapy, as mandibular advancement device (MAD), has increased. Mandibular advancement device is a popular alternative treatment, particularly for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Oral appliances for treating severe OSA are recommended for patients who failed to comply with continuous positive airway pressure treatment. This clinical report presents the treatment outcome of oral appliance therapy and bilevel device in a 70-year-old man with severe OSA and also having respiratory disturbance index (RDI) of 62.7. Polysomnographic (PSG) evaluation was performed before and about 1 week after continuous use of the MAD and then with bilevel device. The results were compared, and RDI decreased 27.5 per hour with the custom MAD, whereas RDI decreased 3.1 per hour with bilevel device. Improved PSG parameters showed that bilevel device was efficient in treatment. How to cite this article Keyf F, Firat S, Ciftci B.

Adequate Oxygenation

We present four cases of adults with obstructive sleep apnea in whom positive airway pressure therapy alone failed to provide adequate oxygenation. We have previously reported the use of dual mask for ventilatory support of a patient postoperatively (Porhomayon et al., 2013). Here, we report an evaluation of the dual mask in four patients with overlap syndromes. Application of dual mask provided adequate oxygenation with lower continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)/bilevel positive airway pressure (BIPAP) pressure levels.

Obstructive Sleep

In some conditions continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel positive airway pressure (BIPAP) therapy alone fails to provide satisfactory oxygenation. In these situations oxygen (O2) is often being added to CPAP/BIPAP mask or hose. Central sleep apnea and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are often present along with other chronic conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), congestive heart failure, pulmonary fibrosis, neuromuscular disorders, chronic narcotic use, or central hypoventilation syndrome. Any of these conditions may lead to the need for supplemental O2administration during the titration process. Maximization of comfort, by delivering O2directly via a nasal cannula through the mask, will provide better oxygenation and ultimately treat the patient with lower CPAP/BIPAP pressure.
