In this SCCR Science Series session, Elaine Costa, MD, a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Otolaryngology, Head, and Neck Surgery (OHNS) provides an overview of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Here she covers:
Think sleep apnea is just for "middle-aged men who snore?" Think again. Dr. Kimberly Sterling and Dr. Audrey Wells join us to reveal why 90% of women are living with undiagnosed sleep apnea and how "invisible" symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are masking a life-threatening breathing disorder.
Johns Hopkins sleep surgeon and airway specialist Kevin Motz will discuss the newest medical and surgical options for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who struggle with using a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine.
