2 GİRİŞ VE AMAÇ Obstrüktif uyku apnesi sendromu (Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, OSA) aşırı gündüz uyuklamaları, bozulmuş hayat kalitesiyle sonuçlanan, trafik kazaları ve kardiyovasküler hastalıklarala ilişklendirilen bir uyku düzensizliğidir. OSA için standart tedavi olan nasal devamlı pozistif hava basıncı (Nasal Continous Positive Air Presure, CPAP) uygulanması bu semptomları hızla engellemekte ve yalnızca küçük yan etkileri göstermektedir. Tüm bu iyi etkilerine karşın açıktır ki CPAP tedavisinin medikal yada psikolojik sebeplerle uygun olmadığı hastalar için tedavi alternatiflerinin bilinmesi önemlidir. CPAP tedavisine en önemli alternatif non invaziv ve klinik etkisi güvenilir olan oral uygulamalardır. Uyku sırasında dişlere sabitlenerek mandibulayı öne alan, hareketli oral aygıtların, uyku sırasında solunum düzensizliklerini ve bu düzensizliklerin semptomlarını önlediği, hastaya daha yüksek bir yaşam kalitesi sunduğu, uyanıklığı arttırıp, kan basıncını azalttığı bilinmektedir. Oral uygulamaların uzun dönem ve yan etkilerinin anlaşılması için daha ileri çalışmalar gerekmektedir. OSAS hastası obez hastalar için bariyatrik cerrahi hem obezitenin hem de OSA nın tedavisinde fayda göstermektedir. Adeno-tonsiller hipertrofi gösteren veya kraniofasiyal malformasyon gösteren hastalarda cerrahi teknikler üst hava yolunu genişleterek OSAS nun tedavisi için iyi bir alternatif olmaktadırlar. Bu çalışma da OSAS tedavisi alternatifleri incelenmektedir.

6 ÖZET Obstrüktif uyku apnesi sendromu (OSAS) aşırı gün içi uyuklamaları, bozulmuş hayat kalitesi ile seyreden, trafik kazaları ve kardiyovasküler hastalıklarla ilişkilendirilen uyku solunum düzensizliğidir. Nasal devamlı pozitif hava basıncı uygulanması OSAS un tedavisinde kullanılan ve derhal semptomlarda azalma sağlayan standart tedavi metodudur. CPAP medikal yada psikolojik sebeplerle endike olmadığı hastalarda bu tedaviye alternatif tedavi ihtiyacı mevcuttur. Hareketli oral aygıtlar uyurken dişlere takılarak mandibulayı ileri alarak gece uyku düzensizliklerini ve bunların semptomlarını iyileştiren ve hayat kalitesini yükselten bir tedavi metodudur. Uzun süreli etkinlikleri ve yan etkilerinin anlaşılması için daha fazla çalışma yapılması gerekmektedir. OSAS hastası obez hastalarda obezitenin engellenmesi aynı zamanda OSAS semptomlarının azalmasına da katkıda bulur.adeno-tonsiller hipertrofili yada kranio-fasial malformasyonlu seçilmiş hastalarda da cerrahi teknikler üst soluk yolunu genişleterek alternatif tedavi seçeneği oluştururlar.
