Polysomnography: assessment of decannulation readiness in chronic upper airway obstruction.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To evaluate the clinical value of polysomnography in patients with a tracheotomy due to chronic upper airway obstruction prior to attempting decannulation. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. METHODS Subjects with chronic upper airway obstruction were identified using a clinical database between 2000 and 2014. All subjects had a tracheotomy, were assessed by the s...
متن کاملUpper-airway resistance syndrome.
Upper-airway resistance syndrome (UARS) was first recognized in children in 1982 (Guilleminault et al., 1982). The term UARS, however, was not used until adult cases were reported in 1993 (Guilleminault et al., 1993). The description of UARS brought the attention of clinicians to a group of patients that was left undiagnosed and untreated despite severe impairment. The authors indicated that th...
متن کاملUpper airway muscle activity and upper airway resistance in young adults during sleep.
To determine the relationship between upper airway muscle activity and upper airway resistance in nonsnoring and snoring young adults, 17 subjects were studied during sleep. Genioglossus and alae nasi electromyogram activity were recorded. Inspiratory and expiratory supraglottic resistance (Rinsp and Rexp, respectively) were measured at peak flow, and the coefficients of resistance (Kinsp and K...
متن کاملThe upper airway resistance syndrome.
The upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) is a recently described form of sleep-disordered breathing in which repetitive increases in resistance to airflow within the upper airway lead to brief arousals and daytime somnolence. This review will first describe the chronological progression of our understanding of UARS within the broader context of sleep-disordered breathing. The primary symptom...
متن کاملThe Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome has been recognized as a major public health problem. Both its cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities and symptoms motivate for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. The main stimulus associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and explaining deleterious consequences is intermittent hypoxia. The upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) has been d...
