The relation between multiple sleep latency test findings and the frequency of apneic events in REM and non-REM sleep.
STUDY OBJECTIVES A recent study of 34 patients with mild obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) suggested that the number of apneas and hypopneas per hour of sleep (apnea/hypopnea index [AHI]) may show a stronger correlation with sleepiness, as measured by the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT), when calculated for rapid eye movement (REM) sleep alone (AHIR) as opposed to the entire night. We ...
متن کاملThe utility of respiratory inductance plethysmography in REM sleep scoring during multiple sleep latency testing.
Rapid eye movement sleep (REM) presents with a characteristic erratic breathing pattern. We investigated the feasibility of using respiration, derived from respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP), in conjunction with chin electromyography, electrocardiography and pulse oximetry to facilitate the identification of REM sleep (RespREM) during nocturnal polysomnography (NPSG) and Multiple Slee...
متن کاملEnhancements to the multiple sleep latency test
INTRODUCTION The utility of multiple sleep latency tests (MSLTs) is limited to determining sleep onset latency (SOL) and rapid eye movement sleep latency. The odds ratio product (ORP) is a continuous index of sleep depth with values of 0, 1.0, and 2.5 reflecting very deep sleep, light sleep, and full wakefulness, respectively. We determined the time course of sleep depth during MSLT naps expect...
متن کاملREM sleep respiratory behaviours mental content in narcoleptic lucid dreamers
Breathing is irregular during rapid eye-movement (REM) sleep, whereas it is stable during non-REM sleep. Why this is so remains a mystery. We propose that irregular breathing has a cortical origin and reflects the mental content of dreams, which often accompany REM sleep. We tested 21 patients with narcolepsy who had the exceptional ability to lucid dream in REM sleep, a condition in which one ...
متن کاملQuantification of electromyographic activity during REM sleep in multiple muscles in REM sleep behavior disorder.
STUDY OBJECTIVES The aim of our study was to determine which muscle or combination of muscles (either axial or limb muscles, lower or upper limb muscles, or proximal or distal limb muscles) provides the highest rates of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep phasic electromyographic (EMG) activity seen in patients with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD). SETTING Two university hospital sleep disorders...
