Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on sleep apnea, acute changes during apneic episodes, and chronic changes with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Normal human sleep can be divided into rapid eye movement sleep (REM) characterized by desynchronized EEG signals, muscle atony, and dreaming, and nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep characterized by ...

Apnea of prematurity is one of the most common diagnoses in the NICU. Despite the frequency of apnea of prematurity, it is unknown whether recurrent apnea, bradycardia, and hypoxemia in preterm infants are harmful. Research into the development of respiratory control in immature animals and preterm infants has facilitated our understanding of the ...

This paper focuses on the underlying mechanisms contributing to sleep-disordered breathing. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common sleep-related breathing disorder and is characterized by repetitive narrowing or collapse of the pharyngeal airway during sleep. Conversely, central sleep apnea (CSA), highly prevalent in congestive heart failure,
