Obstructive Sleep Apnea

JAMA, 2000
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent disorder, affecting 2% to 4% of the adult population [1]. It is characterized by recurrent apneas and hypopneas during sleep with resultant oxyhemoglobin desaturations and sleep fragmentation. The clinical sequelae of OSAmay be severe and include daytime hypersomnolence, cognitive impairment, systemic and/or

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1989
Obstructive sleep disorders and apnea are commonly seen in children of all ages. The obstruction usually causes snoring and varying periods of interrupted breathing during sleep. Obstructive sleep disorders cause multiple physiologic disturbances and should be treated before they become severe.

Opioids and obstructive sleep apnea

Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, 2022
Opioids are widely prescribed for pain management, and it is estimated that 40% of adults in the United States use prescription opioids every year. Opioid misuse leads to high mortality, with respiratory depression as the main cause of death. Animal and human studies indicate that opioid use may lead to sleep-disordered breathing.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Annals of Internal Medicine, 2019
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is very common but is frequently undiagnosed. Symptoms include loud snoring, nocturnal awakening, and daytime sleepiness. Motor vehicle accidents due to drowsy driving are a particular concern. Evaluation and treatment should focus on symptomatic patients, both to alleviate symptoms and to potentially decrease ...

Epilepsy and Obstructive Sleep Apnea

European Neurology, 2006
A few publications documented the coexistence of epilepsy and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The extent, nature, and clinical relevance of this association remain poorly understood. We retrospectively reviewed the database of our sleep center to identify patients with both sleep apnea and epilepsy.

Obstructive Sleep apnea Therapy

Journal of Dental Research, 2008
In clinical practice, oral appliances are used primarily for obstructive sleep apnea patients who do not respond to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. We hypothesized that an oral appliance is not inferior to CPAP in treating obstructive sleep apnea effectively.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Atherosclerosis

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2009
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with significant cardiovascular morbidity and excess in mortality. Atherosclerosis has been shown to occur in OSA patients free of any other significant risk factors. In particular, intima media thickness, an early marker of atherosclerosis, may be increased at the carotid level in OSA.

Sites of Obstruction in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Chest, 2002
The aim of this article was to identify the most common sites of obstruction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by a systematic review of published studies.The review was conducted by a MEDLINE search of the English literature published during the years 1980 to 2002.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Pediatrics, 1983
Kahn and colleagues1 point out that their findings of a decrease in transcutaneous PO2 after episodes of obstructive apnea could be due to a "... redistribution of blood flow away from the skin... ." Their suggestion, however, that the latter is due to a decrease in cardiac output is unlikely.
