92 - Ken Hooks - AHI Too Low for Sleep Apnea Diagnosis...Now What?
Manage episode 356681871 series 3318148
Emma is joined by Ken Hooks, a Sleep Tech and owner of True Sleep Diagnostics. Together they discuss:
* Difficulties trying to integrate oral appliance therapy into the current medical system.
* Women with an AHI under 5 testing negative for Sleep Apnea but still trying to find answers and treatment options for their symptoms.
* RERAs - Respiratory effort-related sleep arousals and the diagnosis of Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome.
* Ken explains why nasal masks are far preferable to a full face mask.
* Airflow limitations and how these can disrupt sleep but go ignored during traditional sleep apnea testing.
* Ken describes how he offers at-home testing. He also explains that he offers second opinions on sleep studies already performed where no treatment options were given because the AHI was too low for a sleep apnea diagnosis.
