作者们设计了一种由异分子聚合物(copolymer)制成的舌保持器(tongue-retaining device,TRD),在睡眠时留置口腔,利用其作用于舌分隔空间的负压,将舌保持在轻度前置位。其目的是将舌根向前牵引,从咽后壁脱离,以增加气道间隙,从而解除呼吸阻塞。作者们选择了20例成年(41～60岁)的男性阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征患者作为验证对象。这些患者的诊断经过多导睡眠描记法(polysomnography)测定证实,以每小时睡眠呼吸暂停减少的次数作为疗效的指标。结果表明,患者在戴用TRD后睡眠改善;呼吸暂停发作减少、时间缩短。试验还证明,根据平均呼吸暂停和呼吸不全参数,戴用TRD后的效
The authors devised a tongue-retaining device (TRD) made of a hetero-molecular copolymer that retains the oral cavity during sleep, uses its negative pressure on the compartment of the tongue, and holds the tongue at Mild front set. Its purpose is to pull the tongue root forward, detached from the posterior pharyngeal wall to increase airway clearance, thereby lifting the obstruction of the breath. The authors selected 20 adults (41 to 60 years) of male obstructive sleep apnea syndrome as a validation object. The diagnosis of these patients was confirmed by polysomnography and the number of apnea episodes per hour of sleep was used as an indicator of efficacy. The results showed that patients with sleep improvement after wearing TRD; apnea episodes reduced, the time is shortened. The trial also showed that, based on the average apnea and respiratory insufficiency parameters, after wearing TRD effect
