Sleep disordered breathing in patients with chronic kidney disease.
The prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in the advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient population has been estimated to be more than 50 per cent. SDB is associated with episodic upper airway obstruction or cessation of breathing during sleep leading to repetitive episodes of hypoxaemia, hypercapnia, and sleep fragmentation, activation of the sympathetic nervous system, endothel...
متن کاملChronic cough in patients with sleep-disordered breathing.
Chronic cough can be the sole presenting symptom for patients with obstructive sleep apnoea. We investigated the prevalence, severity and factors associated with chronic cough in patients with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). We invited 108 consecutive patients who had been referred for evaluation of SDB to complete a comprehensive questionnaire on respiratory and sleep health, which included ...
متن کاملSleep-disordered breathing in patients with COPD and mild hypoxemia: prevalence and predictive variables
Objective: To infer the prevalence and variables predictive of isolated nocturnal hypoxemia and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with COPD and mild hypoxemia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving clinically stable COPD outpatients with mild hypoxemia (oxygen saturation = 90-94%) at a clinical center specializing in respiratory diseases, located in the city of Goiânia, ...

pretest probability of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea.6 A randomized control study is a well-designed clinical trial to examine clinical problems.7 However, our study was a prospective but not a randomized trial and was performed in a single center with a small number of patients. We agree that a study with a better design and larger sample size may solve the issues raised. Finally,...
متن کاملAcute mountain sickness score and hypoxemia.
BACKGROUND Hypoxemia is the immediate consequence of hyobaric hypoxia, which is the crucial starting mechanism of acute mountain sickness (AMS). The AMS is generally a benign and self-limiting condition which can be prevented by gradual ascent. However, ascent rates recommended for prophylaxis of AMS are far slower than those attempted during military operations and by climbers. OBJECTIVE The...
