Effects of pentobarbital on upper airway patency during sleep.
We hypothesised that pentobarbital would improve upper airway mechanics based on an increase in latency to arousal and amplitude of the phasic genioglossus electromyogram (EMG), and a decrease in the active upper airway critical closing pressure (P(crit)). 12 healthy subjects received pentobarbital (100 mg) or placebo in a double-blind, crossover protocol. During wakefulness, we measured the ge...
متن کاملNeuromechanical control of upper airway patency during sleep.
Obstructive sleep apnea is caused by pharyngeal occlusion due to alterations in upper airway mechanical properties and/or disturbances in neuromuscular control. The objective of the study was to determine the relative contribution of mechanical loads and dynamic neuromuscular responses to pharyngeal collapse during sleep. Sixteen obstructive sleep apnea patients and sixteen normal subjects were...
متن کاملSLEEP and SLEEP DISORDERS Neuromuscular Mechanisms of Upper Airway Patency
The pathophysiological mechanisms involved in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are complex and not fully understood. Critical upper airway (UA) narrowing/collapse usually occurs in the oropharynx, between the nasal choanae and epiglottis, an area lacking rigid support. Patency of this vulnerable segment is dependent on the action of pharyngeal dilator and abductor muscles that are normally activa...
متن کاملUpper airway patency during apnoea of prematurity.
Twenty four preterm infants (median birth weight 1120 g and gestation 29 weeks) were studied on 83 occasions by measuring upper airway airflow. Airway patency was detected by the transmission of cardiac impulse up the airway and airway closure by its absence. A total of 309 apnoeas of at least five seconds' duration were recorded. One hundred and eighty (58.0%) were central, 109 (35.5%) mixed, ...
متن کاملEffects of NREM sleep on dynamic within-breath changes in upper airway patency in humans.
The purpose of our study was to compare inspiratory- and expiratory-related changes in retropalatal cross-sectional area (CSA) during wakefulness to those during non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep. We studied 18 subjects in whom the severity of sleep-disordered breathing varied. Relative changes in CSA were visualized by using fiber-optic endoscopy. For each breath analyzed (wakefulness n = 4-...
