High blood pressure or heart problems.Sudden drops in blood oxygen levels while you sleep can raise your blood pressure and put stress on your cardiovascular system. Obstructive sleep apnea could also put you at higher risk for recurrent heart attacks, strokes, or abnormal heartbeats. Type 2 diab...
Sleep apnea syndromeHemodialysisRegional saturation of oxygen (rSO2)Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)Background Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is a sleep disturbance, which is frequently comorbid in dialysis patients. SAS induces hypoxia, and therefore, systemic and cerebral oxygenation would be low. Near...
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that can increase your risk for health problems such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression, and more. Find out how sleep apnea can harm your health and how to get treated for the condition.
Sleep apnea is characterized by repeated disruptions in normal breathing during sleep.1These frequent respiratory interruptions result in periods of low blood oxygen levels, nervous system dysfunction, and sleep fragmentation. People with sleep apnea often stop breathing periodically then suddenly gasp for...
It has been shown that in children with DS and heart disease this low oxygenation causes an increase in the blood pressure in the lungs as the body tries to get more oxygen. This "pulmonary hypertension" can cause the right side of the heart to become enlarged and other cardiac ...
Considered a common yet serious medical condition, sleep apnea causes someone to stop breathing while asleep, which can result in disruptions in oxygen supply, lower sleep quality, and other health complications such as hypertension, cardiac disorder, stroke or cognitive disorde...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. This occurs when the muscles at the back of the throat fail to keep the airway open, leading to disrupted breathing and reduced oxygen levels in the body. Symptoms of OSA may...
An apnea monitor and pulse oximeter can help evaluate the patient’s oxygen saturation levels during sleeping. 4. Administer medications as ordered. Methylxanthines can help relax smooth muscles for spontaneous breathing. References Sleep Apnea. Mayo Clinic. Reviewed: July 28, 2020. From:https://...
Detection of obstructive sleep apnea can be performed through heart rate variability analysis, since fluctuations of oxygen saturation in blood cause varia... A.F. Quiceno-Manrique,J.B. Alonso-Hernandez,C.M. Travieso-Gonzalez,... - International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in ...
Sleep apnea is known to be a risk factor for poor brain health in other ways, including risk of stroke and dementia, but an association with epilepsy had not been described previously. The link to hypoxia suggests that repeated chronic exposure tolow oxygen levelsovernight might lead to brain ...
