Abstract
The key point in choosing a method of treatment of obstructive sleep apnea is the complete diagnosis, which must be conducted according to international standards and include consultation of an otorhinolaryngologist, a sleep specialist and, if necessary, other specialists, and various laboratory and instrumental methods. For the period from February 2011 to July 2015 728 patients with complaints of snoring were conducted polysomnographic study and other types of surveys. The conclusions about the influence of anatomical features, the number of obstructions of the upper airways and of body mass index on the severity of obstructive sleep apnea are given. The choice of treatment for obstructive sleep apnea must be based on the results of polygraphic/polysomnographic studies and data objective control of the condition of the upper airways.
