Both the Duration of Apnea and the Number of Apneas Are Important in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome [PDF]
Apnea and hypopnea are generally considered to be equivalent in calculating the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) regardless of their kind and duration. However, we supposed that apnea and hypopnea could differ in their effects on arousal and oxygen desaturation, and that the duration of an occurrence of apnea or hypopnea could also be important.

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 ...
