Prolonged partial upper airway obstruction during sleep – an underdiagnosed phenotype of sleep-disordered breathing
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a well-recognized disorder conventionally diagnosed with an elevated apnea-hypopnea index. Prolonged partial upper airway obstruction is a common phenotype of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), which however is still largely underreported. The major reasons for this are that cyclic breathing pattern coupled with arousals and arterial oxyhemoglobin satur...
متن کاملPossibilities for Increasing the Success Rate in Sleep Surgery
Sleep surgery is an important option in the treatment of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), particularly for those who have failed or cannot tolerate non-surgical treatments, such as positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy or oral appliances. Surgery aims to anatomically reduce upper airway obstruction in the whole upper airway, as in PAP therapy. However, surgery can fail to sufficien...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To examine drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) findings in nonresponders to previous pharyngeal obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) surgery. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional. METHODS DISE using propofol for unconscious sedation was performed in nonresponders to previous OSA surgery (including palate surgery with or without tonsillectomy and possible other procedures). Nonrespond...
متن کاملUpper airway neuromuscular compensation during sleep is defective in obstructive sleep apnea.
Obstructive sleep apnea is the result of repeated episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep. Recent evidence indicates that alterations in upper airway anatomy and disturbances in neuromuscular control both play a role in the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea. We hypothesized that subjects without sleep apnea are more capable of mounting vigorous neuromuscular responses to upper a...
متن کاملTo Sleep , Perchance to Breathe Sleep Apnea , Snoring , and Sleep - Disordered Breathing
S leep apnea is defined as a sleep disorder with frequent episodes of upper-airway obstruction resulting in hemoglobin oxygen desaturation. The disorder is characterized by periods of breathing cessation (apnea) and periods of reduced breathing (hypopnea). Sleep apnea increases morbidity and mortality, thus making it a condition worthy of investigation.1 Sleep apnea is typically categorized as ...
