Birbe Clinic, surgical sleep apnea treatment solutions in Barcelona
Having a good rest is essential because it is while we sleep that we renew ourselves and gather the energy we need to give the best of ourselves throughout the next day. We know that getting that idyllic rest is complicated by different factors, such as anxiety, worry, or noise, among many others.
Today we are going to talk about a slightly more peculiar, but increasingly frequent difficulty: sleep apnea. This is a sleep disorder in which the patient stops breathing numerous times during sleep, the so-called apnea, causing the oxygen saturation in the blood to decrease by more than 10%.
At Birbe Clinic, we are specialists in surgical treatment of sleep apnea. For this reason, we have different
alternatives to help improve your sleep and, consequently, health .
Sleep apnea treatment without surgery
There are different options to find the most suitable solution for each patient. One of them is the sleep apnea mask or CPAP. This would be the first option without surgical intervention. Its main advantage is that it is an effective alternative, but it has a cumbersome sleep mask. For the patient, it becomes intolerable after a while because of its discomfort. For this reason, there are nowadays other alternatives.
Once masks have been discarded, the jaw advancement devices used for sleeping, night apnoea splints, can sometimes replace the first alternative. In this case, there may be intolerances, changes in dental position and TMJ joint pain, although their main purpose is still fulfilled.It can be a temporary treatment of sleep apnea
Sleep apnea immediate remedy with surgery
Currently, the only curative treatment for OSA is surgical intervention: sleep apnea surgery. It consists of maxillo-mandibular and frequently also chin advancement, increasing the diameter of the airway, tripling its capacity. As a result, breathing is improved, eliminating the collapse of the airway produced during the hours of sleep. A considerable advantage is that since apnea patients often have retrusive faces, this type of orthognathic surgery is aesthetically very favourable, giving added value to this solution.
If you want to change your lifestyle and start enjoying the rest you deserve, orthognathic surgery can be your solution. All the treatments we carry out at Birbe Clinic are performed by the best professionals who are experts in the sector, to guarantee you the best results in each treatment.

How is it detected, and how do we look for a solution: central sleep apnea treatment?
The methodology we use at Birbe Clinic consists of a home sleep polygraph. Using a device designed for this purpose, used for a minimum of 5 hours while sleeping, all snoring, changes in position, breathing, blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, etc. are recorded. In this way, we can calculate the AHI (Apnea and Hypopnea Index per hour) and diagnose whether this pathology exists and to what degree. It is also carried out systematically in any patient undergoing orthognathic surgery, to know which option is the most suitable, as it can condition the movements to be carried out.
How is recovery from obstructive sleep apnea treated?
Depending on the option chosen, in the case of surgical treatment, discomfort in the nose, throat or jaw will probably be present for one or two weeks. It may take longer to recover completely, but the discomfort will be minimal. And we achieve this thanks to our specialists with years of experience, who always bring improvements to our treatments.
