Effect of body position on tongue posture in awake patients with obstructive sleep apnoea.
BACKGROUND Snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are worse or may only occur in the supine position. The effect of body position on upper airway size has been reported, but the effect on tongue posture has not previously been examined. METHODS Detailed measurements were made of tongue posture from upright and supine lateral cephalograms on 24 men with OSA and 13 men with non-apnoeic snor...
متن کاملEffects of tongue electrical stimulation on pharyngeal mechanics in anaesthetized patients with obstructive sleep apnoea.
The tongue plays a significant role in the maintenance of a patent airway. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of tongue musculature contraction on the static mechanical properties of the pharynx in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). During hyperventilation-induced apnoea in seven OSA patients anaesthetized with sevoflurane, the static pressure/area relationships of ...
متن کاملCerebral metabolic impairment in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea: an independent association of obstructive sleep apnoea with white matter change.
OBJECTIVES To determine the relation between severity of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and degree of cerebral metabolic impairment. METHODS Fifty five patients with habitual snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness underwent standard overnight polysomnography and magnetic resonance spectroscopy separately. Proton MR spectra were measured with two dimensional chemical shift imaging (repetitio...
متن کاملChanges in brain morphology in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea.
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common disease that leads to daytime sleepiness and cognitive impairment. Attempts to investigate changes in brain morphology that may underlie these impairments have led to conflicting conclusions. This study was undertaken to aim to resolve this confusion, and determine whether OSA is associated with changes in brain morphology in a large group o...
متن کاملObstructive sleep apnoea in patients with obesity and hypertension.
BACKGROUND The links between obstructive sleep apnoea and hypertension are well established; obstructive sleep apnoea is reported in up to 30% of patients with hypertension, although it is frequently underdiagnosed. Physicians can assess the degree of sleepiness by administering the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, but the large number of patients with hypertension makes this strategy difficult for bu...
