Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome
Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 2005OSAHS should be an expected condition in many patients encountered by primary care providers. The diagnosis may arise because of patient daytime dysfunction, partner prompting, or in the course of managing comorbidities adversely influenced by the hemodynamic, neural, humoral,and inflammatory consequences of repetitive desaturations and arousals.OSAHS ...

Arousal-based scoring of obstructive hypopneas
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2021Purpose of review Obstructive sleep apnea in adults is diagnosed by an apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) above five (at least five apneas and/or hypopneas per hour of sleep). Though the definition of apneas has remained stable, the scoring criteria for hypopneas has varied throughout the years.

Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome in the Elderly
Archivos de Bronconeumología ((English Edition)), 2010The population pyramid is changing due to the increasing longevity of the population, making it a priority to have better knowledge of those diseases that have an increasingly major impact in advanced age. Sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) affects 15-20% of individuals over 65 years.

Obstructive sleep apnea/ hypopnea syndrome
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 1999Obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea (OSA/H) is a common disorder for which there are a variety of therapeutic options. All patients should make appropriate alterations in lifestyle and habits to reduce the risk of upper airway instability during sleep. The aggressiveness of additional treatment should be dictated by the severity of OSA/H, as measured by ...

Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome and the Heart
Revista Española de Cardiología (English Edition), 2006Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are the most common diseases in industrialized societies. The main objectives of this article were to summarize the physiological effects of sleep apnea on the circulatory system and to review how treatment of this condition influences cardiovascular disease.

Sleep and Breathing, 2009
In the interest of improving inter-rater reliability and standardization between sleep laboratories, hypopnea definitions were recently changed to place less emphasis on arousal scoring and more emphasis on oxygen desaturations. We sought to determine whether these changes would affect detection and treatment of OSAHS in lean patients-a group known to ...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome
2006Obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is characterized by recurrent episodes of partial or complete upper airway collapse during sleep that is highlighted by a reduction in, or complete cessation of, airflow despite documented on going inspiratory efforts.

How Important Is the Differentiation between Apnea and Hypopnea?
Respiration, 1997Apnea and hypopnea during sleep are often viewed as different expressions of the same sleep-related breathing disorder. In our point of view, both symptoms are two different entities which can occur in the same patient. We discuss the hypothesis that sleep apnea is a disorder associated with recurrent arousals and chronic activation of the sympathetic ...

Choice of Oximeter Affects Apnea-Hypopnea Index
Chest, 2005Current Medicare guidelines include an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) > or = 15 events per hour, in which all hypopneas must be associated with 4% desaturation, to qualify for reimbursement for therapy with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The present data demonstrate the effect of pulse oximeter differences on AHI.Prospective study, blinded ...

The accuracy of BPAP determined apnea-hypopnea index
4.2 Sleep and Control of Breathing, 2015Purpose: Bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP) devices do not only titrate BPAP pressures but also measure residual respiratory event. The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of BPAP derived residual apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Methods: We studied 100 patients who underwent in laboratory overnight PSG (polysomnography) using BPAP ...
