Abstract

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is a prevalent clinical condition marked by recurrent upper airway obstruction during sleep, impacting normal ventilation. Linked to non-modifiable factors like age and modifiable ones such as obesity, OSAS often presents challenging symptoms, particularly when individuals sleep alone. A comprehensive evaluation, including polysomnography, is crucial for diagnosis. While continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP) remains standard, alternative are available for those intolerant or unresponsive to CPAP. OSAS poses a significant public health concern due to the heightened cardiovascular risk associated with mechanical, biological, and neurological factors. Comprehensive care is imperative for effective management.
