OVERVIEW
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a form of sleep-disordered breathing, encompasses a spectrum of breathing disturbances caused by narrowing of the upper airway. Zuid Afrikaans Sleep Centre treats a number of OSA patients each year and is a leader in research to better understand the disorder and develop new treatments.
Diagnosis
Dr Yacoob Omar Carrim's approach to diagnosis of OSA is based on advanced patient testing, examination and analysis of symptoms.
Treatment
Patients treated for OSA benefit from the combined expertise of top specialists working together across the fields of sleep medicine, otorhinolaryngology (ear, nose and throat), cardiology, orthodontics, oral surgery, endocrinology, and nursing. Each patient is unique and specialists combine their expertise to develop the best treatment plan possible.
