OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA TREATMENT SCREENING METHODS |
| 摘要 |
Embodiments include a screening method for evaluating patient suitability for an implanted hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) device. The screening method evaluates blood oxygen data relating to respiratory events, with the blood oxygen data providing mean blood oxygen desaturation values for comparison to severity thresholds to identify patients who are likely or unlikely to benefit from the implantation of the HGNS device. |

1. A method of evaluating patient candidacy for an implantation of a nerve stimulation device, the method comprising:
providing sleep data to a server, the sleep data including a log of respiratory events for a sleep period of a patient, the sleep data further including blood oxygen data correlated with said respiratory events; and receiving a response from the server, the response including an indication as to whether the patient is a candidate for the implantation of the device. |
