| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether substantial airflow changes occur by changing both jaw position and body posture in normal subjects and patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
15 normal controls (9 males and 6 females) and 15 male OSA patients participated in this study. All subjects were measured their maximum forced inspiratory flow (FIF_<25-75>) curve in seven positions as follows; a.0% jaw forward-upright position, b. 0% jaw forward-supine position, c.50% jaw forward-supine position, d.75% jaw forward-supine position, e.0% jaw forward-lateral position, f.50% jaw forward-lateral position, g.75% jaw forward-lateral position.
Although FIF_<25-75> was increased by changing the body posture from supine to lateral in normal subjects, it wasn't increased by increasing the jaw forward position of them. On the other hand, the more jaw position forward, the more FIF_<25-75> increased in OSA patients. But it wasn't increased by changing the body posture of them. There were no significant differences between 50% forward and 75% forward jaw position in both groups.
In normal subjects, change of jaw position was more effective than that of body posture for FIF_<25-75>. However in OSA patients, change of body posture was more effective than that of jaw position for FIF_<25-75>. It was suggested that the treatment effect in 50% forward position was similar in 75% forward position.
