VERY NEW METHOD FOR TREATMENT OF OSA

Post by afrashi » Sat Feb 28, 2015 2:13 am

There is a very new invention named Pure Prone Positioning (PPP) invented by me. You can find it in Sleep and Breathing journal (Jan 2015).

Actually saltyk9 proposed that concept a few years back:

Positional therapy works, but restricting to prone might be worse that CPAP.

No one of patients in this study said that. There are 2 other study from Sweden that confirm this. So every OSA patient should know that this is the first nonsurgical new method since 1980's.

An actual link would make more sense that having someone search for it assuming it is not behind a paywall.

Huh? I've been sleeping on my stomach (prone) for 30+ years and most of my CPAP usage over the past 8 years. Nothing new invented a lot of people do it naturally.

Sleeping like that without CPAP would result in a bad time for me... and is why I am using a CPAP in the first place.

You're right.

There's no place to breathe on your table:

This is the prototype. There is a hole for breathing. The advantage is that you can use it with any bed. As a patient you have to know that the publication is in very important sleep journal. And you have to know that some of the doctors around the World are working for a better way of life for patients.

Actually, we got at least 3 guys here who make pillows, and we'll get a good foam supplier:

so we'll take it from here.

Thanks again for the tip!

I think Julie already sorted this one out some time ago with a foam bed and a kitchen knife.

I just want the pink and green sheets. the guy with the wires looks kinda creepy, though...he's gotta go. And the bed needs rails so I don't fall out of it.

29 patients with a mean AHI of 15.5 ± 6.2.

15 of the patients reduced their AHI to under 5.

Yeah, I'm sure that would work really well with my 74-ish untreated AHI.
