sleep apnea Flashcards

1
Q

snoring definition

A

partial airway obstruction that reduces airflow but does not cause arousal from sleep

like hypnoapnea

you can snore and not have sleep apnea

25 % of men and 15% of woman are habitual snorers

30-50% of asymptomatic snorers have sleep apnea

snoring is risk factor for
- HTN, CVA, MI

Q

upper airway resistance syndrome

A

exaggerated breathing effort and snoring created by high resistance to airflow in the upper airway

this causes fragmented sleep and significant daytime drowsiness (no evidnece of apnea on testing)

Q

obstructive sleep apnea syndrom definition

A

stoppage of breathing for 10 seconds or more for at least 5 x a hour

oxyen saturation in the blood decreases more than 4%

apnea events end with an arousal from sleep

arousals lead to chronic daytime sleepiness and other symptoms

Q

what your dentist might if you snore or have obstructive sleep apnea

A

elongated uvula and soft palate that can contact the tongue

enlarged tonsils which partially obscure the airway

the tongue is large and usually rests above the biting surface of the teeth

Q

goals of oral repositioning devices

A

start movement slowly

vertical dimension increased by 5 mm

26
Q

indications for use of oral appliances

A

primary snoring

mild to moderate OSA

poor tolerance of nasal CPAP

failure of UPPP
- surgical technique to remove uvula and soft palate

use of appliance during travel

use in combination with other treatmetns

27
Q

benefits of CPAP

A

always eliminates snoring if properly titrated

elimniates or reduces dangerous OSA, hypopnea and oxygen desaturation of blood

Q

protocol for for oral appliances

A

trial evaluation for 2-3 months

subjective symptom assessment

ceph with appliance in place

Q

stastics of signs of OSA on testing

A

9% of men
4% of woman
HAVE SIGNS ON TESTING

34

statistics of signs and SYMPTOMS of OSA

A

4% of men and 2% of woman

35
Q

general prevelance of OSA

A

as prevalent as diabetes or asthma!!!

36
Q

tx for snoring

A
avoid alcohol
weight loss
CPAP - prob overkill
- position therapy 
oral appliances *
37
Q

T/F pulse oximetry is a poor screening tool

A

true

we need sleep study

38
Q

severity of apnea defined by?

A

length of time of apnea event

percentage of time apnea event

percent of oxygen desaturation

39
Q

apnea - hypoapnea ndex is

A

mild - 5-15 (5-20 on other slide) events/hour

moderate 15-40 (20-40 on other slide) events/ hours

severe over 40 events/ hour

40
Q

risks of OSA

A

increased rate of motor vehicle accidents

increased risk of unemployment

uninsurability

martial discord

cardiovascular consequences

41
Q

sleep breathing disorder continuim

A

snoring –> UARS–> Hypopnea –> apnea –> hypoventilation

42
Q

signs and symptoms of OSA

A
  1. snoring and intermittent pauses
  2. excessive daytime sleepiness
  3. awakness due to gasping and choking
  4. fragmented, non-refreshing sleep
  5. poor memory and clouded intellect
  6. personality changes
  7. decreased sex drive
  8. morning headaches
43
Q

predisposing factors for OSA

A
  1. increased age
  2. increased weight / obesity
  3. male gender
  4. disproportionate upper airway anatomy
  5. alcohol and sedative hyptonics
  6. hypothyroidism
44
Q

collar size and neck size

A

men over 17 and woman over 15

increased risk

45
Q

upper airway configuration in apneics

A

apneic airway has an A-P configuration

NARROWED LATERALLY due to the lateral soft tissue structures – pharyngeal wall and fat pads

VOLUME of lateral pharyngeal walls, soft palate and fat pads are SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER in apneic patients

46
Q

primary screening tool

A

epworth questions

over 10 = OSA

47
Q

epworth norms

- breakdown

A

normal is 5.9 (so 6 or less)

OSA = 11.7

Narcolepsy = 17.5

48
Q

behavior treatment and avoidance with OSA

A

weight loss

body positioning

avoidance of CNS depressants

avoidance of upper airway irritants

49
Q

only one that really raises oxygen saturation

A

CPAP

continuous positive airway pressure

50
Q

side effects of oral appliances

A

excessive salivation

transient discomfort of teeth, TMJ

dry mouth - xerostomia

soft tissue irritation

occlusal changes

51
Q

effectiveness of oral appliances

A

85-90 % effective in snoring

60-70% effective in mild - moderate OSA

10% complication rate

success is highly variable and DOES NOT IMPROVE lowest sa02 levels

52
Q

george gauge

A

intra-oral device used to register correct jaw position for mandibular repositioning appliances

measures prottrusion and retrusion of mandible

start at HALF OF MAXIMUM

53
Q

CLASSIFICATION of oral appliances

A

mandibular repositioning devices

tongue retaining devices

54
Q

tongue retaining devices for?

A

edentulous

55
Q

CPAP success?

A

80-90%

but 40-60% non- compliance issues

20% complication rate

increases lowerst Sa 02

56
Q

general over arching treatment of snoring

A
  1. behavioral tx and avoidance of risk factors
  2. contious positive airway irritants
  3. oral appliance therapy
  4. surgery
57
Q

downfall of Uvulopalatopharynggoplasty

A

painful
removes the uvula palate and tonisls

ONLY 40% SUCCESS WHEN PERFORMED ALONE

ONLY

58
Q

phase I sureries

A

UPPP/ tonsilectomy

mandibular anterior segmental osteotomy with genioglossus muscle advancement

possibly include hyoid bone
stabilization

success increases when do them together

like UPPP alone = 40-50

all three together = 60-70%

59
Q

phase II surgeries
success?
implicatino

A

maxillomandibular advancement (MMA)

maxilla and mandible advanced forward 10 mm - usually combined with advancement of genial tubercles / genioglossus muscle (total of 20 mm for genioglossus)

success rate of approx 97% – bt invasive and a lot of surgery

60
Q

airway is increased at multiple levels

A

tongue base

palate

nasal valve

61
Q

maxillomandibular advancement success rate

A

90-98%
