The condition, also called treatment-emergent central apnea, is generally detected when obstructive sleep apnea is treated with CPAP and central sleep apnea emerges. [18] The exact mechanism of the loss of central respiratory drive during sleep in OSA is unknown but is most likely related to incorrect settings of the CPAP treatment and other ...
Respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) is a method of evaluating pulmonary ventilation by measuring the movement of the chest and abdominal wall. Accurate measurement of pulmonary ventilation or breathing often requires the use of devices such as masks or mouthpieces coupled to the airway opening.
The respiratory disturbance index (RDI)—or respiratory distress Index—is a formula used in reporting polysomnography (sleep study) findings. Like the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), it reports on respiratory distress events during sleep, but unlike the AHI, it also includes respiratory-effort related arousals (RERAs). [1]
Without treatment, the sleep deprivation and lack of oxygen caused by sleep apnea increases health risks such as cardiovascular disease, aortic disease (e.g. aortic aneurysm), [165] high blood pressure, [166] [167] stroke, [168] diabetes, clinical depression, [169] weight gain, obesity, [66] and even death.
A hallmark of sleep disordered breathing is the occurrence of arousals during sleep. Such arousals elicit generalized autonomic activation, which among other physiological changes, includes sympathetic nervous system-mediated peripheral vasoconstriction, and transient pulse rate elevation. The PAT technology allows measurement of these changes ...
A long-term lack of sleep may make weight loss harder and increase your risk of weight gain. In short, getting proper sleep is an important support for weight loss programs and other methods of ...
