1 lis 2020 · Reports of adverse events associated with Inspire for sleep apnea from January 2000 to May 2020 were included for analysis. From these included reports, event variables were collected, including event setting, adverse event to patient, iatrogenic injury, device malfunction, interventions, and root causes.
Understanding causes of adverse events and their impact on patients undergoing stimulator implantation will help improve patient preparation and surgical practices to avoid future complications.
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) that do not tolerate/accept continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) are candidates for surgical alternatives. Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) through the implantation of the Inspire ® device constitutes a minimally invasive operative option.
1 lis 2020 · The most common nonserious complications included temporary tongue discomfort, rash at the surgical site, and cellulitis. Serious complications included readmission (for cellulitis, pain, and device extrusion), reoperation (most commonly for battery depletion) and pressure ulcer formation.
15 mar 2023 · The condition, which causes people to stop breathing repeatedly while sleeping, is linked to a higher risk of stroke, heart failure, and dementia over time—and can leave people exhausted...
3 lis 2023 · Inspire sleep apnea treatment addresses obstructive sleep apnea by stimulating airway muscles. The implanted device monitors breathing and delivers pulses to keep the tongue out of the airway. Inspire treatment is suitable for moderate to severe OSA cases that have not responded to other treatments.
