No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the elevation of the head of the bed in patients with obstructive sleep apnea can decrease the apnea-hypopnea index. First the investigators will do a standard polysomnography and see if the patients are included analysing the criteria like apnea-hypopnea index equal or more than 5. Within 2 weeks the patient will do the second polysomnography but this will be with a elevation of the head of the bed (15 cm of elevation of the bed doing a inclination). Then the investigators will compare the data of apnea-hypopnea index in the standard polysomnography versus the index with the elevation of the head of the bed.
