- Abstract
The article presents the discussion on endotypic mechanisms of successful hypoglossal nerve stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Topics include cuff electrode placing around the protruding branches of the hypoglossal nerve, a respiratory sensor placed in the intercostal muscles, and an implantable pulse generator generating the stimulation pulses; and pharyngeal muscle compensation calculating as the increase in airflow as ventilatory drive rising from normal level.
