SUMMARY:Exploring Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation - An Innovation in Sleep Apnea Treatment
DESCRIPTION:This is a members only webinar. Please login or sign-up to register. \nTolerance and adherence to positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy remains to be a challenge for some patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). It is estimated that about half of the patients with OSA have poor long-term adherence to PAP therapy. This webinar sponsored by the Sleep Technologist and Respiratory Therapist Education Committee focuses on hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) as an option for patients who struggle with PAP therapy. We will discuss different aspects of this form of neuromodulation therapy: patient selection\, surgical evaluation and implantation\, device activation and follow-up\, and HNS titration sleep study. \nView Faculty and Planner Disclosures \nSpeakersNotch Sigua\, MDStephanie Stahl\, MDThomas Kaffenberger\, MDMichael Bonacum\, MD (Moderator) \nContinuing Education \nContinuing Medical EducationThe American Academy of Sleep Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. \nThe AMA Council on Medical Education mandates that accredited providers only offer AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ to physicians. Non-physicians will be provided a letter of attendance indicating the number of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ awarded for the sessions they attended. \nAASM designates these live activities for: AASM Committees Presents – Exploring Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation – An Innovation in Sleep Apnea Treatment \nA maximum of 1.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ \nPhysicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. \nContinuing Education Credit (CECS) For Sleep Technologists \nThis activity has been approved by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine for: AASM Committees Presents – Exploring Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation – An Innovation in Sleep Apnea Treatment \nA maximum of 1.00 CECs for Sleep Technologists \nIndividuals should only claim those credits earned as a result of this activity. \nMaintenance of Certification (MOC) \nSuccessful completion of this CME activity\, which includes participation in the evaluation component\, enables the participant to earn up to: \n\n1.00 Medical Knowledge MOC points in the American Board of Internal Medicine’s (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program;\n1.00 MOC points in the American Board of Pediatrics’ (ABP) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program; and\n1.00 annual part II self-assessment credit in the American Board of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery’s Continuing Certification program (formerly known as MOC).\n\n\n\n\n    \n    Login and Register Page\n    \n\n\n\n    \n        Log In\n        Join Today\n    \n\n    \n        If you're already logged in and still cannot access this content\, you may need to renew your membership.
