Screening of Obstructive Sleep Apnea with Empirical Mode Decomposition of Pulse Oximetry

, 2014
Detection of desaturations on the pulse oximetry signal is of great importance for the diagnosis of sleep apneas. Using the counting of desaturations, an index can be built to help in the diagnosis of severe cases of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea ...

Long-term prediction of adherence to continuous positive air pressure therapy for the treatment of moderate/severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is a highly effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). However, poor adherence is a limiting factor, and a significant proportion of patients are unable to tolerate CPAP.

The Predictors of Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Balkan Medical Journal, 2017
Background: As obesity increases, the frequency of obstructive sleep apnea and obesity hypoventilation syndrome increases also. However, obesity hypoventilation syndrome frequency is not known, as capnography and arterial blood gas analysis are not ...

Evaluation of human obstructive sleep apnea using computational fluid dynamics. [PDF]

, 2019
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity might be correlated to the flow characteristics of the upper airways. We aimed to investigate the severity of OSA based on 3D models constructed from CT scans coupled with computational fluid dynamics (CFD ...

Prevalence of OSA Risk and Bruxism in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often present with sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition characterized by upper airway obstruction during sleep. Bruxism has been recently described as being associated with OSA.

Mean apnea–hypopnea duration (but not apnea–hypopnea index) is associated with worse hypertension in patients with obstructive sleep apnea

Medicine, 2016
To determine which polysomnography parameters are associated with severity of hypertension.This retrospective study collected data on all patients admitted to our urban, academic center in Beijing with hypertension who had undergone polysomnograms (PSG ...
