Q

Parasomnias

A

Admixture of wakefulness with either NREM sleep or REM sleep

Wakefulness+NREM = Confusional arousal, sleep tower, and sleep acting( talking, walking)
Or
Wakefulness+REM =REM nightmares, REM sleep behavior disorder ( REM without usual Atonia ) allowing physical enactment of dreams which can result in injury to self or others

Q

What was the first form is of he sleep relate in breathing disorder described

A

CSA with Cheyen-stokes breathing

18
Q

Three conditions during which CSA with Cheyne-stockes breathing is encountered

A

CHF
Stroke
Afib

19
Q

What are the four cyclical components of cayenne Stokes reading

A

Hypopnea
apnea
hypoxia
hyperventilation

20
Q

OSA’s Immediate consequences on the heart

A

Hypoxemia
Hypercarbia

Arousal

Reduced pleural pressure

21
Q

Cardiovascular Intermediate term consequences of OSA

A

Decreased O2 delivery
Oxidative Stress
Inflammation
Hypercoagulopathy

Sympathetic activation
Parasympathetic inactivation

Increases transmural pressure on heart and great vessels

22
Q

Long term effects of OSA on heart

A

Cardiac dysfunction ; endothelial dysfunction ; Increased RV afterload ; Right ventricular hypertrophy

Tachycardia 
Hypertension 
Increased LV afterload 
Increased myocardial O2 consumption 
Myocardial toxicity 
Dysrhythmias 

Increased Rt and Left Ventricular afterload
Dysrhythmias
Aortic dilation
Increased Lung water

23
Q

30 to 50% of patients with poly cystic ovarian syndrome also have what condition ?

A

OSA

24
Q

OSA is encountered in 50% or patients with NASH. True or False

A

True

Non Alcoholic Steatohepatitis

25
Q

What EEG changes are seen due to OSA ?

A

Overall slowing of EEG
Decrease in deeper sleep stages
Compensatory Increase in light sleep

26
Q

What metabolic changes seen due to OSA ? Pathophysiological mechanism of these changes specifically

A
Hypoxic injury 
Systemic Inflammation 
Increased sympathetic activity 
Alterations in hypothalamic pituitary adrenal function 
Hormonal changes
27
Q

The metabolic DERANGEMENTS seen with OSA include :

A

Insulin resistance
Glucose intolerance
Dyslipidemia

28
Q

The metabolic DISORDERS seen with OSA include

A

Central Obesity
Metabolic syndrome
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

29
Q

OSA is the result of what 3 events :

A

Apnea episodes
Arousals
Increased Respiratory efforts

30
Q

What can Apneic and hypoapneic episodes lead to ?

A

OSA induced hypoxia + reoxygenation cycles&raquo_space;activation of : redox-sensitive genes oxidative stress , inflammatory process, SNS, coagulation cascade = endothelial dysfunction =» systemic HTN + Pulm HTN + Atheroslerosis + Rt/ Lt ventricular systolic/diastolic dysfunction + CAD + CHF + Afib + stroke + sudden death

31
Q

What do arousal episodes lead to ?

A

Increased sympathetic system activity + Decreased PSNS = increased : HR , LV afterload , Myo O2 consumption , dysrhythmias, Myo toxicity , apoptosis .

Sleep deprivation = increased SNS , inflammation and hypermetabolic state

Increased inspiratory efforts = large swing in neg intrathoracic pressure&raquo_space;transmitted to heart/lung/great vessels

32
Q

Are Central Sleep apnea events associated with increased Resp effort ?

A

No . That would be OSA

But still. Hypoxia occur

33
Q

90% of Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS) also have

A

OSA

34
Q

Other name for OHS

A

Pickwickian syndrome

35
Q

Other name for Central Alveolar Hypoventilation syndrome

A

Onldine’ s curse

36
Q

Clinical feature of OHS (8)

A

1) marked obesity
2) Somnolence
3) Twitching
4) Cyanosis
5) periodic respiration
6) secondary polycythemia
7) Right ventricular hypertrophy
8) Right ventricular failure/cor pulmonale

37
Q

Define OHS , what are the characteristic of OHS

A

Hypoventilation during wakefulness

Worsens in the supine position and during sleep

38
Q

Which is more common ? Primary or comorbid form of sleep related Hypoventilation ?

40
Q

Most common category of sleep disorder is insomnia. What is the second most common ?

A

Sleep related breathing disorder !
90 % of that is OSA
And Snoring is more common than OSA

41
Q

CSA is not common. But 1/2 of CSA pts have what condition ?

A

CHF
