The Breathing Paradox: Mastering Central Sleep Apnea
2026-02-11 11:00 - 12:00 | Online
Alejandra Lastra, MD
Central sleep apnea (CSA) is a complex disorder marked by unstable breathing and serious clinical impact. It is especially common in certain high-risk groups, including patients with heart failure and those using chronic opioids, and is linked to worse health outcomes. Because of its prevalence and consequences, sleep medicine fellows and practicing clinicians need clear, standardized education on CSA. This webinar provides a concise review of the underlying pathophysiology and emphasizes a practical, evidence-based approach to the diagnosis and treatment of CSA in real-world clinical care.

Webinar - New Technology in Mandibular Advancement Devices
2025-11-07 13:00 - 14:00 | Online
This is a members-only webinar. Please log in or sign up to continue.
Advances in fabrication are transforming mandibular advancement devices (MADs)—also known as oral appliances or sleep mandibular repositioning devices—making them more comfortable, effective, and easier for patients to use in treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The AASM clinical practice guideline recommends, and evidence supports, MADs for treatment of primary snoring and OSA in adults, including those who do not tolerate continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or prefer an alternate therapy. Emerging consumer and medical technologies are also expanding access to care and driving innovation in treatment. As designs, materials, and clinical applications continue to evolve, clinicians face growing challenges in staying current. This webinar will provide the essential insights needed to evaluate and integrate the latest MAD technologies into patient care with confidence.
