A fully blocked airway is considered an apnea while a partially blocked airway is considered a hypopnea
4
**what are the advantages of bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation in comparison to unilateral (there’s 4)
(Select all) stronger muscle contraction, more symmetrical tongue movement, larger airway opening, not having to put in a battery
**how many weeks post op can you activate the genio system?
At least 6-8 weeks
** true or false. The better sleep study ONLY contained patients with CCC
FALSE
What does OSA stand for and what is it?
Obstructive sleep apnea, muscles and soft tissues in throat and tongue relax too much and collapse, collapse causes temporary decrease of cessation of breathing
What parts of our system do surgeons use?
Genio IS/ES and AC/DP
What part of our system do patients use?
Smartphone app, AC/DP and the charging unit
What does AC DP and CU stand for in terms of our system
Activating Chip, Disposable Patch, charging unit
T/F - genio is MRI conditional up to 1.5 and 3 T
True
What is this an example of
Complete centric collapse
What study proved efficacy of genio for CCC
BETTER SLEEP
What does our system use to sync up with patient breathing at night
Dedicated duty cycle
What is the AHI range genio can treat and what does combined central and mixed AHI of the total AHI have to be under?
15-65, less than 25%
***what is genio indicated for
1) 15-65 AHI
2) combined central and mixed ahi is less than 25% of the total ahi
3) adult patients who have not tolerated, have failed or refused PAP
** when does activation of genio occur
6-8 weeks post op
