6th Annual Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) Surgery International Course

6th Annual Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) Surgery International Course is organized by Florida Hospital Nicholson Center and will be held from Feb 24 - 26, 2019 at Florida Hospital Nicholson Center, Celebration, Florida, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 18.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.

Conference Description:
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) is a disease with increasing prevalence. The application of surgery to the treatment on OSAHS is a growing field and this course was created to show-case the up-to-date surgical procedures available to treat those who cannot tolerate non-surgical treatment options. With a strong practical focus, the course will include anatomical, clinical and surgically oriented lectures. Ten hours of cadaver dissection is available with hands-on faculty instruction. Faculty led clinical case discussions will consolidate the learning objectives. The face-to-face relationship between the faculty and participants makes this course an important starting point for all specialists who want to explore sleep-disordered breathing surgery

Conference Objectives:
• State how to evaluate the upper airway from an obstructive sleep apnea perspective.
• Describe the heterogeneous nature of anatomical obstruction in obstructive sleep apnea.
• Explain how to identify the site of obstruction and determine if multi-level surgery is required.
• Demonstrate the surgical steps involved in common surgical interventions for obstructive sleep apnea.
• Describe and examine the surgical steps involved in common surgical interventions for obstructive sleep apnea.
• Identify perioperative morbidity and how to manage this in the surgical treatment of OSA.
• Discuss the role of surgery in pediatric OSA

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
