title: [Clinical features, diagnostics, and treatment of rhonchopathy].
abstract: At present, diagnostics and treatment of pathological snoring is a topical medical and social problem as follows from the results of statistical and epidemiological studies of the prevalence of rhonchus and apnea in the general population and a large number of relevant publications both in the domestic and the foreign literature. According to statistics, every fifth subject at the age above 30 years snores when sleeping. Recent surveys have demonstrated that rhonchus is a precursory symptom and a manifestation of one of a most serious clinical conditions, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). One of the main achievements in the field of snoring research and treatment is the development of an objective method for the evaluation of the respiratory function during sleep known as polysomnography (PSG).
