Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2009 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,

The usefulness of end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring during apnea test in brain-dead patients [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2014 BackgroundThe apnea test (AT) is essential to confirming the diagnosis of brain death, but critical complications can occur if the AT is maintained over a long period. To minimize the AT period, we used end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) monitoring because
