Two approaches are given in the book using an upper-airway stimulation based on the pathogenesis of an obstructive sleep apnea. Implantable electronics are devised to control the tongue and the soft palate considering that they are the major pharyngeal muscles contributing to the apnea. First, for tongue control, a cuff electrode was designed and fabricated to stimulate the hypoglossal nerve, which innervates to the tongue muscle. Rare-earth magnets were embedded in the cuff for easy and repeatable installation of the electrode. For soft palate control, a palatal implant system was firstly developed to contract the soft palate muscle by applying electrical stimuli. Comprised of an implant, an intra-oral device, and an external controller, the palatal implant system is fully powered and controlled by means of wireless communication. The approaches were demonstrated in both .in vitro .and .in vivo .assessments, in collaboration with department of Otorhinolaryngology, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital. . | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | 关键词 | Obstructive Sleep Apnea; Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation; Soft Palate Stimulation; Liquid Crystal Polymer | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-15-8327-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-981-15-8329-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-981-15-8327-8Series ISSN 2190-5053 Series E-ISSN 2190-5061 | issn_series | 2190-5053 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapor |
