Q

What are the characteristics of clinically significant EDS?

A

Persistent and unremitting
Increasing sleep time may not fix the sleepiness
Patient may c/o sleep loss consequences, i.e., loss of energy, memory loss or fatigue

Q

THe body is basically designed to sleep at night and wake during the day. THere is a natural mid-teenage thing that extends it out and then aging shifts it back. What are the two nadirs of when we typically ar enaturally slseepy?

Q

WHat is the problemw tih alcohol?

A

it decreases sleep latency
has a short half life so when you metabolize it out, it wakes you up and messes up the rest of your sleep
worsens underlying sleep pathology
fragments sleep

Q

What are the three places that can obstruct in sleep apnea?

A
  1. in the nose
  2. back by the uvula
  3. at the base of the tongue
20
Q

What happens with partial obstruction?

A

the snoring

21
Q

What happens in complete obstruction

A 
don't breath
O@ sats drop
catecholamine burst wakes them up
resume breathing
go back to sleep

repeat

22
Q

What are the typical symptoms of sleep apnea?

A

Excessive daytime sleepiness after adequate sleep time
Loud snoring with silent pauses - witnessed apnea
Irritability, Memory Loss
Morning headaches - Hypoxemia, Hypercapnia
Interfering with daily life

23
Q

Which gender is more often effected?

A

males - until after menopause, after which women start to get it to (progesterone is a respiratory stimulant)

24
Q

What percentage will have personality change and intellectual deterioration?

A

50%

25
Q

What are associated with the morning headaches?

A

hypozemis and hypercapcnia

26
Q

What percentage of males will be impotent?

A

50%

27
Q

What are osme of the physical characteristics that suggest apnea?

A 
facial reconstruction
downsyndrome
broken nose with deviated septum
severe rosacea causing rhinophyma
maxillary or mandibular insufficiency
crowding from a small jaw or asymmetric mandibular arch
big tonsils
obesity
28
Q

What neck collar size is a robust predcitor of obstructive apnea?

A

over 17 inches (43 cenimeters)

29
Q

What happens to the cardiovascular system in sleep apnea?

A

you’ll have huge variability in heart rate and it will increase in general

blood pressure will go up and vary highly

arrhythmias more likely

higher rates of a fib, CAD, CHF and HTN

30
Q

What percentage of people with HTN have OSA? How about refractory HTN?

A

40%!

87% in those with retractory!!!

31
Q

What are the 4 treatments for OSA?

A
  1. seight loss
  2. oral surgery
  3. postivie airway pressure device (CPAP)
  4. oral appliances
32
Q

What’s the most effective?

A

the CPAP - 99% of the time it works

33
Q

What’s a second choice that works about 70% of the time in mild cases?

A

oral devices - you wear an dupper and lower guard that will push the mandible forward to try to open up the airway

34
Q

What are the two surgical treatment you can do?

A

tracheostomy

uvulopalatopharyngoplasty

35
Q

What is narcolepsy

A

you have a hypothalamic deficiency in oxycretin, so your sleep cycle gets all messed up

awake intrudes on REM and REM intrudes on sleep

36
Q

What will narcoleptics present with?

A
  1. excessive sleeping
  2. hypnopopnic hallucinations
  3. cataplexy
  4. sleep paralysis
37
Q

How do we diagnosed narcolesy?

A
  1. Do actigraphy to make sure they’re not sleep deprived - if they prove they’re sleepin genough…
  2. do an overnight sleep study. if normal….
  3. that following morning do a multiple sleep latency test (a nap test) - do 5 naps spaced by hour and a half and they sleep for 20 minutes. Measure how long it takes you to sleep and then how long you are in REM.

DIangnosis of narcolepsy = sleep latency less than 8 minutes and 2 early REM onsets

38
Q

What are the 2 parts of treatment for narcolepsy?

A
  1. stimulants to help them not be so sleepy

2. REM suppressants - like toprenil

39
Q

What’s the most common “movement disorder” during sleep?

A

a hypnic jerk - the random twitch in response to a trigger

a stage 1 phenomena

usually means you’re excessively sleepy that day and either had too much caffeine or nicotine

40
Q

What is restless leg syndrom?

A

comes out of the substantia nigra

it’s an uncomfortable sense of not being able to hold the leg still while you try to sleep

leads to periodic leg movements during sleep at night (which can be measured)

41
Q

What’s one lab to check in restless leg syndrome?

A

check that iron levels are ok

42
Q

If you see stereotypic rhythmic motions repeatedly at night, what do you need to rule out?

A

seizures

43
Q

If an elderly gentleman comes in saying he acts out his dreams, what is the diagnosis?

A

REM Behavior disorder

44
Q

To be paralyzed at night, what has to happen in your brain?

A

the pons needs to be stimulated, which will then inhibit your muscle centers

so volunteer cats who get their pons taken away will act out their dreams

45
Q

WHat’s the management for REM behavior disorder?

A

low dose clonopin

46
Q

What’s the scary thing about having REM Behavior disorder?

A

50% will get a diagnosis of a brain disorder in 10 year - usually parkinsons or lewy body dementia
