Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) secondary to pressure garments used to treat hypertrophic scarring of burns has never been reported. The present study describes two children who presented with OSA following introduction of such garments for management of hypertrophic scars following severe facial and upper body burns. Complex sleep polysomnography confirmed severe OSA with desaturations sufficie...
An association between mouth breathing during sleep and increased propensity for upper airway collapse is well documented, but the effect of treatment for nasal obstruction on mouth breathing during sleep and simultaneous obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) severity has not been described previously. A randomised single blind placebo- and sham-controlled crossover study of treatment (topical deconge...
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) are subsets of sleep-disordered breathing. Awareness about OSA and its consequences amongst the general public as well as the majority of primary care physcians across India is poor. This necessiated the development of the INdian initiative on Obstructive sleep apnoea (INOSA) guidelines under the auspices of Department ...
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is increasingly being recognized as an important health issue in the last two to three decades. It is characterized by frequent episodes of upper airway collapse during sleep, causing recurrent arousals, intermittent hypoxaemia, sleep fragmentation and poor sleep quality. There is accumulating evidence that OSA is being considered as an independent risk factor for...
Several studies have reported changes in apnoea characteristics across the night in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). However, the effect of body posture on these changes has not been evaluated. The purpose of this study was to assess how body posture influences sleep apnoea characteristics across the night in severe OSA. Polysomnograms of 30 patients with severe OSA who had > or = ...
Studies addressing the relationship between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and sympathoadrenal activity have been criticized for poor control of factors known to confound sympathetic function, including hypertension. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between OSA and urinary catecholamines in a population-based sample of hypertensive males. In 1994, 2,668 males aged 40-79...
Sleep related breathing disorders are common and their potential to disrupt sleep leading to daytime fatigue and hypersomnolence is widely acknowledged. In the future, obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) may become even more important because obesity as a main risk factor is increasingly prevalent. Apart from disturbing sleep, OSA has also been recognised as a risk factor for hypertension, acute car...
The advantage of being a National Referral Centre for patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) was used to seek clinical factors predictive of OSA, and thus determine if the number of polysomnography tests required could be reduced. Patients were mainly primary referrals, from an island population of 3.5 million. Two hundred and fifty consecutive patients underwent clinical assess...
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is primarily regarded as a male disorder, presenting with snoring, daytime sleepiness and cardiovascular disease. We aimed to determine the frequency of sleep apnoea among females in the general population. We investigated 400 females from a population-based random sample of 10,000 females aged 20-70 yrs. They answered a questionnaire and performed overnight polys...
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is associated with reduced quality of life and increased risk developing cardiovascular disease. The cornerstone parameter for diagnosing assessing disease severity the apnoea-hypopnea index (AHI); however, this insufficient capturing complexity This because AHI poorly correlated to some major symptoms OSA, excessive daytime sleepiness events. Thus, new more perso...
