New focus in the Frankfurt (Oder) Clinic: Sleeping medicine conquers the ENT
in the Frankfurt (Oder) Clinic (Oder), the Department of Earew's Nose and throat medicine (ENT) under the direction of chief physician Ferhat Tek has set a new focus. Since April 2024, the department has also operated in terms of sleep medicine, which means that the diagnosis and therapy of sleep disorders, especially sleep -related breathing disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea, focuses on.
ferhat Tek explains that sleep disorders are widespread and have a significant impact on the quality of life of those affected. These include serious health risks such as high blood pressure or even heart attacks. The clinic has modern sleep laboratory rooms in which patients are comprehensively analyzed in order to be able to develop optimal treatment strategies.
comprehensive diagnostics and individual therapy
The process of diagnostics begins with a detailed anamnesis interview, followed by an in -depth medical examination. In order to gain a better understanding of the sleeping conditions, polysomnography is carried out. Many biological parameters such as brain streams and respiratory flow are recorded during sleep. This data provides valuable information about possible disorders, which is evaluated by the medical team of the ENT station.
Based on the information obtained, doctors can propose targeted therapies. The palette ranges from simple, conservative measures such as adapting the sleeping environment to invasive treatments, such as the implantation of a tongue pacemaker. This innovative process is particularly advantageous for patients who have difficulties with conventional CPAP therapy. The tongue pacemaker ensures that the tongue muscles remain active during sleep, which opens the airways.
"We are proud to be able to offer our patients comprehensive diagnostics and tailor -made therapies that lead to a sustainable improvement in their quality of life," says Jan Jakobitz, the managing director of the clinic.
