Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
by David N. F. Fairbanks
Book Description
The Second Edition of this volume presents a wealth of new insights on the diagnosis and management--both surgical and nonsurgical--of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The relationship of snoring to this syndrome is completely examined in a valuable historical perspective. Subsequent chapters provide practical guidance on pathophysiology, clinical presentations in children as well as adults, and the latest and most effective medical and surgical management options. Noted experts describe variations in uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, thoroughly discuss the limitations and pitfalls of this procedure, and address important considerations regarding anesthesia during surgical procedures. The Second Edition includes five new chapters and six eminent new contributors.
