Respiratory disorders during sleep in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Patients with COPD may show slow, progressive deteriorations in arterial blood gases during the night, particularly during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. This is mainly due to hypoventilation, while a deterioration of ventilation/perfusion mismatch plays a minor role. The severity of gas exchanges alterations is proportional to the degree of impairment of diurnal pulmonary function tests, part...
متن کاملRespiratory muscle activity during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
BACKGROUND In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) periods of hypopnoea occur during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, but the mechanisms involved are not clear. METHODS Ten patients with stable COPD were studied during nocturnal sleep. Detailed measurements were made of surface electromyographic (EMG) activity of several respiratory muscle groups and the accompanying ches...
متن کاملValidation of a transcutaneous CO(2) monitor in adult patients with chronic respiratory failure.
BACKGROUND Home mechanical ventilation is usually started in hospital as arterial blood gas sampling is deemed necessary to monitor CO(2) and O(2) adequately during institution of ventilatory support. A non-invasive device to reliably measure CO(2) transcutaneously would alleviate the need for high care settings for measurement and open the possibility for home registration. OBJECTIVES In thi...
متن کاملEffect of melatonin administration on sleep quality in sulfur mustard exposed patients with sleep disorders
Sulfur mustard (SM) is a toxic agent that targets several tissues. It is the leading cause of persistent lung disease, progressive deterioration in lung function and mortality among patients. Disturbed sleep and poor quality of sleep are common in SM-exposed patients with chronic respiratory problems. Melatonin is an alternative medication that has been widely used to treat poor sleep quality c...
