- Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing is common in children. Snoring, mouth breathing, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) often prompt parents to seek medical attention for their children. ...
- Sleep-disordered breathing refers to a pathophysiologic continuum that includes snoring, upper airway resistance syndrome, obstructive hypopnea syndrome, and OSA. ...
- Sleep-disordered breathing in children is a timely public health concern, given the increasing rates of obesity and hyperactivity in this population. As demonstrated in one study,5 a large percentage of children with hyperactivity or inattentive behaviors had underlying sleep-disordered breathing. These children would be cared for more effectively with appropriate recognition and treatment of sleep-disordered breathing than with the use of stimulant medications.

280. Obstructive Sleep Apnea - November 15, 1999 - American Academy of Family Physicians
- www.aafp.org
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
- Obstructive sleep apnea is a significant medical problem affecting up to 4 percent of middle-aged adults. The most common complaints are loud snoring, disrupted sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness. Patients with apnea suffer from fragmented sleep and may develop cardiovascular abnormalities because of the repetitive cycles of snoring, airway collapse and arousal. ... Because many patients are not aware of their heavy snoring and nocturnal arousals, obstructive sleep apnea may remain undiagnosed; therefore, it is helpful to question the bedroom partner of a patient with chronic sleepiness and fatigue. Polysomnography in a sleep laboratory is the gold standard for confirming the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea; however, the test is expensive and not widely available. Home sleep studies are less costly but not as diagnostically accurate. ...
- Obstructive sleep apnea is a disorder in which complete or partial obstruction of the airway during sleep causes loud snoring, oxyhemoglobin desaturations and frequent arousals. As a result, affected persons have unrestful sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness. ... 2 Because obstructive sleep apnea often occurs in obese persons with comorbid conditions, its individual contribution to health problems is difficult to discern. ...
- Even though obstructive sleep apnea is fairly common, it often remains undiagnosed in primary care practice. ...
- Obstructive sleep apnea is caused by repetitive upper airway obstruction during sleep as a result of narrowing of the respiratory passages. ... Decreased airway muscle tone during sleep and the pull of gravity in the supine position further decrease airway size, thereby impeding air flow during respiration.
- Nocturnal arousals caused by apnea are often unrecognized by the patient, even if the arousals occur hundreds of times a night. ...
- Whether the obstruction is incomplete (hypopnea) or total (apnea), the patient struggles to breathe and is aroused from sleep. ...
- Soon after the patient falls back to sleep, the tongue and soft tissues again relax, with consequent complete or partial obstruction and loud snoring.

- Patient: I do not know what sleep apnea is, but I am not aware that I have any other symptoms. ...

- Habitual loud snoring is the most common symptom of breathing disorders that occur during sleep. ...
- Sleep-related complaints appeared regularly in medical literature in the beginning of the 19th century. However, from 1900 to the mid-1960s little was published in scientific journals about the "sleepy patient" except for an occasional report on the normal or abnormal aspects of sleep physiology. Recent developments of research techniques in neurobiology, molecular biology, molecular genetics, physiology, neuropsychiatry, internal medicine, pulmonary medicine, and cardiology have allowed scientists to study the details of sleep. As a result, there has been an explosion in interest in understanding sleep and "sleep disorders. ...
- Some sleep-related disturbances are simply temporary inconveniences while others are potentially more serious. Sleep Apnea is the major respiratory disorder of sleep. Other serious sleep-related disorders are narcolepsy and clinical insomnia. "Jet lag syndrome," caused by rapid shifts in the biological sleep-wake cycle, is also an example of a temporary sleep-related disorder. So are the sleep problems experienced by shift workers.
- In 1944, the important observation was made that ventilation (exchange of air between the lung and environment) normally decreases during sleep. Even in "normal" people, breathing patterns during sleep may show a few irregularities. ... However if the breathing irregularities are accompanied by reduced oxygen supply to tissue (hypoxia) and repeated loss of sleep, these people are at risk of developing more serious problems.
- Understanding Sleep.
- Sleep is a complex neurological state. ... Repeated interruption of sleep by breathing abnormalities such as cessation of breathing (Apnea) or heavy snoring, leads to fragmented sleep and abnormal oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood. ...

- Healthy Sleep .
- Sufficient and restful sleep is a human need as basic as food, vital to emotional and physical well being. In recent years, scientists have made great strides in identifying patterns and functions of brain activity in sleep. ... They spend about one-third of their time asleep, suggesting that most people need about eight hours of sleep each day. ...
- Sleep consists of two distinct states, which alternate in cycles lasting about 90 minutes. These states are termed quiet and active sleep, reflecting differing levels of brain nerve cell activity. Sleep starts in the quiet state, progressing from Stage 1 (light sleep), to Stage 2 (so-called true sleep), and then to the deeper Stage 3-4 sleep, once distinguished but now combined. ... After about 90 minutes of quiet sleep, eyes move rapidly behind closed lids, giving rise to the state known as rapid eye movement, or REM sleep. ...
- Most vivid dreams occur in REM sleep. REM sleep brain activity, which is comparable to that in waking, prompts the designation of REM sleep as active sleep. Quiet sleep commonly is called non-REM or NREM sleep. In REM sleep, skeletal muscles are virtually paralyzed, possibly preventing people from acting out their dreams. As sleep progresses the NREM/REM cycle repeats. With each cycle, NREM sleep becomes progressively lighter, and REM sleep becomes progressively longer, lasting from a few minutes early in sleep to perhaps an hour at the end of the sleep episode. ...

- Sleep apnea is a disorder in which a person stops breathing during the night, perhaps hundreds of times, usually for periods of 10 seconds or longer and sometimes for as long as a minute. ... People who have sleep apnea may not even be aware of the condition, but it inevitably causes daytime sleepiness.
- Sleep apnea is generally categorized as obstructive, central, or mixed. ...
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the most common form of apnea, occurs when tissues in the upper throat (or airway) collapse at intervals during sleep, thereby blocking the passage of air. ...
- (It should be noted that snoring also occurs without sleep apnea. ...
- If the tissues at the back of the throat collapse and become momentarily blocked, apnea occurs. (Apnea literally meaning absence of breath. ...
- Apnea decreases the amount of oxygen in the blood, and eventually this lack of oxygen triggers the lungs to suck in air.
- Central Sleep Apnea.
- Central sleep apnea is much less common. ... Often people with central sleep apnea recall waking up. They generally experience less sleepiness during the day than people with obstructive sleep apnea.

- Types of Sleep Apnea .
- There are two main types of sleep apnea. ...
- Central Sleep Apnea Apnea is a relatively rare central nervous system disorder. When a person suffering from this type of sleep apnea falls asleep, the diaphragm (the muscle separating the chest and abdominal cavity which helps move air in and out of the lungs) stops moving because the sleeping brain fails to send impulses through the nerves which control the movement of the diaphragm. ...
- Upper Airway or Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a more common and serious type of apnea. In this type, the onset of sleep does not affect the diaphragm. There is, however, an abnormal loss of tone (healthy elasticity) in the muscles of the tongue, throat, and larynx during sleep. As a result, at the onset of or during sleep, the throat collapses and the air flow is completely blocked. ...
