Abstract
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) is a surgical treatment for obstructive sleep apnea that activates in a phasic manner. The most widely available HNS device has respiratory entrainment programming settings that are not widely utilized. We present an algorithm for office‐based respiratory sensing adjustments to optimize HNS respiratory entrainment.

Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (

device has respiratory entrainment programming settings that are not widely utilized. We present an algorithm for office‐based respiratory sensing adjustments to optimize
HNS
respiratory entrainment.
