Sleep Fragmentation in Obstructive Sleep Apnea [PDF]

Sleep, 1996
Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with fragmentation of sleep due to the repeated occurrence of end-apneic arousal throughout the night. Arousals are provoked by stimuli generated during upper airway obstruction. Mechanoreceptor stimuli produced during obstructed inspiratory efforts appear to play a major role in mediating the end-apneic arousal ...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Stroke [PDF]

Chest, 2009
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and stroke are frequent, multifactorial entities that share risk factors, and for which case-control and cross-sectional studies have shown a strong association. Stroke of respiratory centers can lead to apnea. Snoring preceding stroke, documentation of apneas immediately prior to transient ischemic attacks, the results of
