A Programming Algorithm for Optimizing Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator Respiratory Entrainment
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) is a surgical treatment for obstructive sleep apnea that activates in a phasic manner. The most widely available HNS device has respiratory entrainment programming settings that are not widely utilized. We present an algorithm for office-based respiratory sensing adjustments to optimize HNS respiratory entrainment. Laryngoscope, 135:1532-1536, 2025.
