What is sleep apnea???
Sleep apnea is a disorder in which breathing is interrupted or paused during sleep.
What may be the cause??
When there is not enough space to accommodate sufficient airflow in a portion of the upper airway during sleep.
When muscle tone is decreased ,
When there is imbalance in transmitting the signals between the brain and respiratory muscles
In adults, it is most commonly associated with obesity , male sex , and advancing age
Types??
Clinical Presentation…
Contributing Factors!!!
Factors that contribute to airway obstruction are Obesity Large neck circumference Large tongue or tonsils Narrow airway due to bony structures of head and neck Taking sedative medication Drinking alcohol Smoking Nasal congestion
Medical disorders associated with OSA include Stroke Hypothyroidism Metabolic syndrome Acromegaly Neurological disorders ( eg myasthenia gravis )
Associated Factors…
OSA induced biological changes Intermittent hypoxia, Intermittent hypercapnia , Intrathoracic pressure changes, Sympathetic activation and Sleep fragmentation
OSA can cause Metabolic dysregulation , Endothelial dysfunction, Systemic inflammation, Oxidative stress and Hypercoagulation .
OSA has been shown to increase the risk for Systemic hypertension, Pulmonary vascular disease, Ischemic heart disease, Cerebral vascular disease, Congestive heart failure and Arrhythmias
History Possible risk factors , Co-morbidities , Snoring, and What a normal night of sleep is like to him/her.
Indices AHI (apnea-hypopnea index), RDI (respiratory disturbance index)
Clinical Examination: N ose , T onsils , P alate , T ongue , N eck circumference, U pper airways .
Questionnaires Epworth Sleepiness Score (ESS) for daytime sleepiness; Berlin questionnaire for common OSA risk factors and symptoms
Oximetry Analyse oxygen saturation of haemoglobin to help identify individuals unlikely to have OSA.
Tests Nocturnal polysomnography , and Home sleep tests.
Differential Diagnosis!
Asthma Central sleep apnea Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Depression Gastroesophageal reflux Hypothyroidism Narcolepsy Periodic limb movement disorder
