Dynamics of Snoring Sounds and Its Connection with Obstructive Sleep Apnea [PDF]
, 2012 Snoring is extremely common in the general population and when irregular may indicate the presence of obstructive sleep apnea. We analyze the overnight sequence of wave packets --- the snore sound --- recorded during full polysomnography in patients referred to the sleep laboratory due to suspected obstructive sleep apnea. We hypothesize that irregular

Sleep apnea-hypopnea quantification by cardiovascular data analysis [PDF]
, 2014 Sleep apnea is the most common sleep disturbance and it is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disorders. Its detection relies on a polysomnography, a combination of diverse exams. In order to detect changes due to sleep disturbances such as sleep apnea occurrences, without the need of combined recordings, we mainly analyze systolic blood ...

Screening of Obstructive Sleep Apnea with Empirical Mode Decomposition of Pulse Oximetry [PDF]
, 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 syndrome.

Journal of Gandaki Medical College-Nepal, 2017 Background: Sleep apnea is a condition that interrupts breathing while sleeping, usually caused by an obstruction blocking the back of the throat so that the air cannot reach the lungs. The brief cessation in breath automatically forces individuals to wake up and restart breathing.

National Knowledge-Driven Management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea—The Swedish Approach
Diagnostics, 2023 Introduction: This paper describes the development of “Swedish Guidelines for OSA treatment” and the underlying managed care process. The Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) is traditionally used as a single parameter for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity ...

Circulation, 2021 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent complete and partial upper airway obstructive events, resulting in intermittent hypoxemia, autonomic fluctuation, and sleep fragmentation. Approximately 34% and 17% of middle-aged men and women,

International Consensus Statement on Obstructive Sleep Apnea
International Forum of Allergy and Rhinology, 2022 Evaluation and interpretation of the literature on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) allows for consolidation and determination of the key factors important for clinical management of the adult OSA patient. Toward this goal, an international collaborative of

Metrics of Sleep Apnea Severity: Beyond the AHI.
Sleep, 2021 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is thought to affect almost 1 billion people worldwide. OSA has well established cardiovascular and neurocognitive sequelae, although the optimal metric to assess its severity and/or potential response to therapy remains ...

Possibilities of diagnosing breathing disorders during sleep in home conditions
Diagnostyka, 2021 Disorders of breathing during sleep not only adversely affect the condition of the body during the daytime, but, above all, can be dangerous to health and life.
