Antonino Benito

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder characterized by repetitive episodes of complete or partial upper airway obstruction during sleep, leading to intermittent hypoxia and disrupted sleep patterns. Pregnancy-related OSA is increasingly recognized as a significant health concern, with potential implications for both maternal and fetal outcomes. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the effects of pregnancy-related OSA on maternal health, fetal development, and pregnancy outcomes, as well as strategies for diagnosis and management.
