Last month, Dr. Brian Brodish, completed his 100th Inspire procedure at ECU Health Medical Center to treat patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is a dangerous condition which can cause vehicle and workplace accidents, worsening mood and memory, stroke, heart attack and other serious issues. “We have a high incidence of sleep apnea in eastern North Carolina, but a lot of patients can’t tolerate a CPAP,” said Dr. Brodish. “There’s a significant morbidity to not treating sleep apnea, and up until now, I had nothing to offer. This is one of the first successful surgical alternatives for our patients with sleep apnea.” Learn more about Dr. Brodish and the Inspire procedure here: go.ecuhealth.org/4bIJXi3
