Inspire and hypoventilation
Inspire and hypoventilation
I can understand the theory that stimulation by an Inspire device may control obstructive apnea events, but the effectiveness of Inspire to control hypoventilation (non-obstructive)/ hypopnea events seems (to me) to be dubious.
Should Inspire be considered for a patient with 90% non-obstructive events? Would Inspire be effective for events that are non-obstructive?

Come on, man. You can read Inspire's webpage and easily understand that.

I make it a practice to be very skeptical of what the marketing/PR folks say about their product.

Re: Inspire and hypoventilation
How could it possibly help? I believe there are other implants that stimulate the diaphragm:

Re: Inspire and hypoventilation
Exactly.
What I understand is that the INSPIRE delivers mild stimulation to the tongue nerve to prevent the tissues from becoming flaccid.
If a patient is not experiencing airway obstruction, but rather "shallow breathing", stimulation of the tongue will accomplish nothing.
