Reduction in REM sleep that occurs during sleep and full relaxation of tension in the Nov Nov tongue slide backwards blocking your airway sleep apnea is one of the most important factors that can cause disease.
Pulling the tongue forward stimulated contraction of the genioglossus muscle prevents slipping back to the language, and the language of the area behind the tension increased after reports showed that in patients with sleep apnea, these muscles began to develop treatment methods that target.
For this purpose, we developed the nerve stimulating devices (Cardiovascular Division) surgically inserted subcutaneously in the chest wall between the ribs of sensors that detect respiratory movements on the muscles, that causes the stimulus to contract the language of the genioglossus muscle in the neck with Hipoglossus move on the border are placed. After the device has been activated after 4 weeks of the second month after surgery, sleep is adjusted to provide the best result with the test.
The placement of the nerve stimulator Hipoglossus both safe and low risk in terms of both the patient as well as other surgeries for sleep apnea is a surgery that is comfortable for most, although the device is very expensive, and yet because of the lack of sufficient data on the effectiveness of the process of accumulation between the standard treatment has not entered today.
