9] NIV, Transplant, Apnea ADD article questions- make sure all the info is on here Flashcards
What is sleep apnea?
Significant daytime sleepiness with other Sx
Hallmark of sleep apnea
Airway narrowing/obstruction at night
3 types of sleep apnea
Central
Obstructive
Mixed
What does obstructive sleep apnea mean? (OSAS)
Periods that last 10 sec or more where you have hypopnea or apnea of breathing
Patho of OSAS
Partial or complete pharyngeal collapse during sleep- relaxed pharynx during sleep obstructs ventilation
What’s dampened during sleep?
Reflex
What else gets dampened during sleep worsening the loss of airway tone?
Chemoreceptors
Results of narrow airway in OSAS
Low oxygen and increased CO2
Healthy breathing
Negative intrathoracic pressures pull air in —> ⦿ Pharyngeal dilator muscles fight the inward pull to keep airways patent ⦿ Slow air movement is laminar and aids in keeping airway dilated ⦿ During sleep, pharyngeal dilator muscles relax increasing airway resistance
Severe sleep apnea
More than 30 episodes per night of loss of breathing
Moderate sleep apnea
15-30 episodes/night
Mild sleep apnea
5-14 episodes/night
Gender risk factor for SA
Mor emen
Race for SA
African America, Hispanic, Pacific Islanders
Elevated BMI as risk factor in sleep apnea
40% obese have it and 70% of people with sleep apnea are obese; neck circumference more than 16 inches for women, more than 17 for men
Anatomy as risk factor for SA
Small airways, cervical extension, FHP
Sleep apnea is seen a lot in kids with?
Down syndrome
Signs and Sx in adults for SA
Wifey complains Sleep disturb Tired and groggy even tho they got 8 hours sleep Morning headaches (b/c of alterations in CO2 and O2 levels) Irritable Memory loss Dry mouth Car accidents (they fall asleep)
Signs and Sx of sleep apnea in kids
Hyperactivity- primary Sx
Can’t concentrate
Bad school performance (detention)
Long term consequences of SA
HTN CAD HF Dysrhytthmias CVA disorders Impairs growth in kids
The death rate for ppl with ? SA is ? Than for those who dont have OSAS
Untreated
3x higher
Define obesity hypoventilation syndrome
BMI more than 30
PaCO2 more than 45
Sleep disordered breathing
CHRONIC HYPOventilation
Altered breathing in obesity HYpovent syndrome results in
Daytime LOW PaO2
Daytime elevation PCO2
(Differentiates OHS from OSA)
Risk factor for OHS
Obesity
What does OHS stand for
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome
Signs and Sx of OHS
Sleepy Depression SOB with activity Irritable Signs of cor pulmonale
Risks of OHS
HTN Cor pulmonale Sexual dysfunction Dysrhytmia Polycythemia CVA
Treatment for SA and OHS
NIV, Masks with CPAP and BiPAP which all aim to increase alveolar ventilation and stent airways
Goal of NIV
Airway stunting
Goal os NIV is to increase
FRC = ERV + RV
What is FRC
Volume in lungs after a normal expiration
Increasing the FRC does what
Limits “de-recruitment” of alveoli
What is CPAP
Pressure during exhale to stent open airways
How does patient breathe on CPAP
Spontaneously
What’s another common intervention for SA
BIPAP- NIV
What’s different of BiPAP
It’s a type of CPAP with two diff pressures during inhale (high pressure) and exhale (low pressure)
High pressure in BiPAP during inhale for
Stenting
Low pressure of BiPAP during exhale for
Helps blow off CO2
PT implications for SA
Take a thorough sleep history, look at ADHD in kids, weight, sleep hygiene, exercise, sleep positioning
Indications for lung transplant
Advanced lung disease- class II or IV Progressive lung disease that needs max intervention Survival chance less than 50 in 2 years without transplant Pt understands risks
Contraindications for lung transplant
Active cancer in last 2-5 years Untreatable or advanced disease of another organ Uncurable infection Chest wall/Spine deformity Not compliant with therapy Psych conditions untreatable No social support Substance addition like smoking
RELATIVE contraindications for lung transplant
More than 75 years old Poor functional status Colonization BMI more than 30 Severe osteoporosis- mechanical vent
What does LAS stand for
Lung allocation score
