Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is a growing public health problem worldwide, that requires urgent attention. State of the art research has illuminated the multifactorial etiology of the disease. OSAS can be considered a condition characterized by repetitive upper airway obstruction leading to sleep fragmentation, cardiovascular stimulation, and oxygen desaturation during sleep. The recent analysis of the epidemiology of OSAS has suggested the prevalence of OSAS is approximately 5%.

This  IASSACON 2018, 6th National conference of surgeons of sleep apnoea helped the Otorhinolaryngologist, Pulmonologist, Anaesthesiologist, Neurologists and maxillofacial surgeon to infer a proper holistic diagnostic and management protocol for patients with OSAS.
