Emma is joined by Trent and Theresa Tidball to discuss Trent's journey with OSA. Together they discuss: * Trent's symptoms of daytime sleepiness as a teen and doing a sleep study but not following up. * Undergoing a UPPP, tonsillectomy, septoplasty, and turbinate reduction at the same time with an ENT without ever having a sleep study. * Getting a sleep test and diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea. * Titrating study showing the need for ASV rather than CPAP or BiPAP. * MMA surgery to advance jaws hoping to improve Trent's airway. * Mental health impacts setting in for Trent and Theresa after trying all these treatment options without a positive outcome. * Theresa starting a blog to help process the emotions around coping with Trent's illness. * Trent having a DISE procedure showing his tongue was the main reason for his obstructive apneas * Trent undergoing Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation surgery and starting to dream again. * Speculating that UPPP surgery had affected the function of Trent's tongue. * Deciding to do a revision MMA surgery with a new surgeon.

J., Trajlinek, J., ACERBO, E., Botzanowski, B., Cassara, A., Neufeld, E., Glowacki, E. D., Shangold, L., Hanes, W. M., Williamson, A. Abstract: Peripheral nerve stimulation is used in both clinical and fundamental research for therapy and exploration. At present, non-invasive peripheral nerve stimulation still lacks the penetration depth to reach deep nerve targets and the stimulation focality to offer selectivity. It is therefore rarely employed as the primary selected nerve stimulation method. We have previously demonstrated that a new stimulation technique, Temporal Interference (TI) stimulation, can overcome depth and focality issues. Here, we implement a novel form of TI, bilateral TI (bTI) stimulation, for bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation in rodents and humans. Pairs of electrodes are placed alongside both hypoglossal nerves to stimulate them synchronously and thus decrease the stimulation amplitude required to activate hypoglossal-nerve-controlled tongue movement. Comparing bTI stimulation with unilateral TI stimulation, we show that it can elicit the same behavioral and electrophysiological responses at a reduced stimulation amplitude. Traditional transcutaneous stimulation evokes no response with equivalent amplitudes of stimulation. During first-in-man studies, TI stimulation was found to be well-tolerated, and to clinically reduce apnea-hypopnea events in a subgroup of female patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). These results suggest a high clinical potential for the use of TI in the treatment of OSA and other diseases as a safe, effective, and patient-friendly approach.

In this episode we talk with Dr. Matthew Hensler about Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation for treating Adult Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), including how he learned the procedure, patient selection, procedure tips, and advice on building a successful program. --- EARN CME Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs: https://earnc.me/Jw85Cq --- SHOW NOTES First, Dr. Hensler explains the initial workup for a snoring patient. In this history, he addresses the impact snoring has on the patient's quality of life and also assesses the environmental factors that may be responsible for the snoring, such as lack of sleep and alcohol consumption. Then, during the physical exam, he checks for anatomical reasons for snoring, such as large tonsils and a deviated septum. From the history and physical exam, he is able to classify patients into two categories: primary snorers (without sleep apnea) and snorers with sleep apnea. He recommends that all patients complaining of snoring obtain a sleep study. Dr. Hensler then explains his criteria for choosing good hypoglossal nerve stimulator candidates. He recommends choosing patients with an Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) score between 15-65, a BMI of less than 31, and patients who have less than 25% of apnea attributed to mixed and central apnea. Because the CPAP machine is still the gold standard treatment for treatment of OSA, he usually only recommends this surgery to patients who have failed CPAP treatment already. Next, Dr. Hensler explains the mechanics behind the hypoglossal nerve stimulator, which only treats obstructive sleep apnea. During the implantation surgery, the first incision is made in the right chest for placement of the processor. The processor is attached to a sensor lead that feeds into the rib cage space between the external and internal intercostal muscles. A second submandibular incision is made below the submandibular gland to place the stimulator lead. When the sensor lead in the rib cage senses the patient breathing, it relays a message to the stimulatory lead, which stimulates the protrusive branches of the hypoglossal nerve to fire and push the tongue outwards. The surgery can be performed in an outpatient setting andlasts less than 2 hours. Patients can start turning on the device before they sleep 3-5 weeks after implantation. Finally, Dr. Hensler obtains a 3 month follow up sleep study in order to monitor improvement in AHI scores. Post-operative complications like infection and pain are possible. Dr. Hensler prescribes his patients with a short duration of narcotics for submandibular pain and a 7-day course of antibiotics to prevent infection. Because of chest involvement during surgery, a pneumothorax is another post-operative complication. A chest X-ray should always be ordered after surgery to rule out this possibility. Finally, it is important to note that patients with a hypoglossal nerve stimulator are unable to undergo MRI scans involving their right chests because of the battery in the processor.
