PAREJO-GALLARDO, Karem e SALTOS-CRISTIANO, Claudia Mariana. Medical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). rev.fac.med. [online]. 2017, vol.65, suppl.1, pp.101-103. ISSN 0120-0011. https://doi.org/10.15446/revfacmed.v65n1Sup.59727.
The treatment of the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAHS) seeks to solve the signs and symptoms related to the disease, as well as to reduce the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and the desaturations, to achieve a decrease of associated risks and comorbidities. However, this disease requires long-term treatment, with combined therapies developed by a multidisciplinary team. Medical treatment should be performed on all patients, even if additional therapies are necessary. In addition, this syndrome may be associated with other diseases that need specific treatment.
