Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the quotidian sleep-disordered breathings in adults, denoted by persistent incidents of upper airway slump during sleep. Cardinal prospect for obstructive sleep apnea is craniofacial disharmony and obesity. Recognizing the genesis of OSA in a particular ethnic population/individual subject helps to acknowledge the etiological elements and effective management of OSA. Recent advances in knowledge of causes, diagnostic technologies, drugs, and new treatment modalities lead to better management of obstructive sleep apnea. This book has the potential to realign treatment and management approaches for this common, chronic health condition.
