Q1Domain Verified
During the 2026 HNS Therapy Course, what is the primary neurophysiological mechanism targeted by hypoglossal nerve stimulation in treating obstructive sleep apnea (OS
Increasing the tonic activity of the diaphragm for more forceful inspiratory efforts.
Modulating the baroreflex to reduce sympathetic outflow during sleep.
Indirect activation of genioglossus and other tongue muscles to advance the tongue base.
? A) Direct stimulation of pharyngeal dilator muscles to increase airway pressure.
Q2Domain Verified
A key takeaway from the "From Zero to Expert!" HNS Therapy Course 2026 is the importance of patient selection. Which of the following patient profiles, as discussed in the course, would be considered a *contraindication* for HNS therapy?
A patient with severe OSA (AHI > 30) who has undergone successful septoplasty and uvulopalatopharyngoplasty without significant improvement.
A patient with moderate OSA (AHI 15-20) who has failed positive airway pressure therapy and has a BMI of 28.
A patient with moderate OSA (AHI 20-30) who is intolerant to CPAP and has a BMI of 32.
A patient with mild OSA (AHI 5-15) and significant central sleep apnea components (RDI 25).
Q3Domain Verified
In the "Advanced HNS Programming" module of the 2026 course, what is the critical interplay between the stimulation parameters (e.g., pulse width, frequency, amplitude) and the patient's positional OSA?
Pulse width primarily influences the sensation of stimulation, with longer widths improving positional control.
Adjusting the stimulation frequency can differentially affect the genioglossus versus other tongue muscles, impacting positional effectiveness.
Increased stimulation amplitude is the sole determinant of overcoming positional obstruction, regardless of other parameters.
Higher amplitude is always required for patients with predominantly supine OSA to overcome gravity.
