Apnea–hypopnea index

The Apnea–Hypopnea Index or Apnoea–Hypopnoea Index (AHI) is an index used to indicate the severity of sleep apnea.

See Hypoglossal nerve stimulator and Apnea–hypopnea index

Body mass index

Body mass index (BMI) is a value derived from the mass (weight) and height of a person.

See Hypoglossal nerve stimulator and Body mass index

Continuous positive airway pressure

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a form of positive airway pressure (PAP) ventilation in which a constant level of pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is continuously applied to the upper respiratory tract of a person. Hypoglossal nerve stimulator and continuous positive airway pressure are Treatment of sleep disorders.

See Hypoglossal nerve stimulator and Continuous positive airway pressure

External intercostal muscles

The external intercostal muscles or external intercostals (intercostales externi) are eleven in number on both sides.

See Hypoglossal nerve stimulator and External intercostal muscles

Food and Drug Administration

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA or US FDA) is a federal agency of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Genioglossus

The genioglossus is one of the paired extrinsic muscles of the tongue. Hypoglossal nerve stimulator and genioglossus are tongue.

See Hypoglossal nerve stimulator and Genioglossus

Hypoglossal nerve

The hypoglossal nerve, also known as the twelfth cranial nerve, cranial nerve XII, or simply CN XII, is a cranial nerve that innervates all the extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the tongue except for the palatoglossus, which is innervated by the vagus nerve. Hypoglossal nerve stimulator and hypoglossal nerve are Otorhinolaryngology.

See Hypoglossal nerve stimulator and Hypoglossal nerve

Internal intercostal muscles

The internal intercostal muscles (intercostales interni) are a group of skeletal muscles located between the ribs.

See Hypoglossal nerve stimulator and Internal intercostal muscles

Obstructive sleep apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common sleep-related breathing disorder and is characterized by recurrent episodes of complete or partial obstruction of the upper airway leading to reduced or absent breathing during sleep. Hypoglossal nerve stimulator and Obstructive sleep apnea are sleep disorders.

See Hypoglossal nerve stimulator and Obstructive sleep apnea

Polysomnography

Polysomnography (PSG) is a multi-parameter type of sleep study and a diagnostic tool in sleep medicine.

See Hypoglossal nerve stimulator and Polysomnography

Rib cage

The rib cage or thoracic cage is an endoskeletal enclosure in the thorax of most vertebrates that comprises the ribs, vertebral column and sternum, which protect the vital organs of the thoracic cavity, such as the heart, lungs and great vessels and support the shoulder girdle to form the core part of the axial skeleton.

See Hypoglossal nerve stimulator and Rib cage

Soft palate

The soft palate (also known as the velum, palatal velum, or muscular palate) is, in mammals, the soft tissue constituting the back of the roof of the mouth.

See Hypoglossal nerve stimulator and Soft palate

Tongue

The tongue is a muscular organ in the mouth of a typical tetrapod.

See Hypoglossal nerve stimulator and Tongue

Tonsil

The tonsils are a set of lymphoid organs facing into the aerodigestive tract, which is known as Waldeyer's tonsillar ring and consists of the adenoid tonsil (or pharyngeal tonsil), two tubal tonsils, two palatine tonsils, and the lingual tonsils.
