Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common medical condition that can have serious health consequences for both adults and children. It can lead to various complications, such as cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, stroke, and type two diabetes. Many OSA patients often experience persistent drowsiness before their condition is diagnosed and treated, which can result in accidents while operating heavy machinery or driving on the road.

OSA in pediatric patients is often underdiagnosed despite its association with significant morbidity categories, such as neurobehavioral, cardiovascular, and somatic growth.

Screening for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) should be prioritized as much as screening for other chronic diseases. The best and most cost-effective way to manage OSA is by incorporating a multidisciplinary team model with various medical and dental specialties.

Every healthcare facility should prioritize early diagnosis and intervention of OSA to save time and money spent in operating rooms and intensive care units.

This book illustrates an innovative multidisciplinary treatment pathway that aims to provide high-quality and cost-effective healthcare for adults and children with OSA in any healthcare facility.
