title = "Management of Sleep Disorders-Sleep Technology on Positional Therapy",
abstract = "Positional patients are defined as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients in whom respiratory disturbance index (RDI) or apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) is at least twice as high in the supine position than in the non-supine position. Positional therapy (the avoidance of the supine posture during sleep) is a simple behavioral therapy for mild and moderate sleep disordered breathing. In this chapter, we 1) provide an overview of position dependent sleep and positional therapy for sleep disordered breathing, 2) update the clinical evidence for positional therapy and position dependent sleep advances in sleep technology, and 3) discuss issues regarding implementing positional therapy.",
