KNOWLEDGE OF GENERAL PRACTITIONERS

ON SLEEP APNEA SYNDROME

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Sleep-related respiratory pathology, such as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, has been a growing concern for pulmonologists over the past 20 years. In general practice, this pathology remains under-diagnosed. In this study, we set out to assess the current state of theoretical knowledge and the level of involvement of general practitioners in the management of sleep disorders. One hundred and twenty-two of the 160 doctors initially contacted agreed to take part in the survey, with an overall participation rate of 62.5%. Based on the results, we concluded that, despite diagnostic and therapeutic advances in the field of sleep disorders, SAS is still a little-known pathology among general practitioners. We therefore need to reflect on the structural means capable of improving certain indications for the management of OSA in our country. In addition, the role of therapeutic education should be better defined and clearly provided in a multidisciplinary way, involving the general practitioner for the benefit of the patient.
