Uars Flashcards
Uars
causes arousal and sleep fragmentation without partial or complete airway collapse
No desaturation
Symptoms of uars
Sleepy like osa
Absent snoring
Migraime
Fatigue
Diagnosis
Eds
Normal rdi
Eeg- arousal index >10/hr
Etiology
Dns
turbinate hyperttophy
Triangle face
Central sleep apnea syndrome
Repititive episodes of breathing cessation in absence of resp effort , characterized by altered vent motor output
Why
In response to arousal
Manifestation of breathing instability- cheynestokes in chf and high Altitude
Neurological
Types
Hypocapnic
Hypercapnic
Path
When co2 falls below the apnoeic threshold. Necessary for rhytmic breathing
Hypoxia
Fluctusting mv.
Sleep state changes
Treatment
Cheyne stokes
Pharma- beta blocker , Ace.
Cpap- dec bp, ahi , improves lv systolic function
Adaptive sero ventilation- bipap with fixed epap and variable ipap
Aasm recommend- cpap. O2 , asv
Idiopathic csa
Csa with normal cardiac function
Rx-cpap
Acetazolamide , bzd
Complex sleep apnea
Csa during cpap titration
Rx: asv
Pathology of complex csa
Co2 excreted by cpap- sleep apnoea
Overtitration- excessive lung expansion- hering bruer reflex- apnoea
Rx of complex
Slow titration
Theo+acetazolamide- improve periodic breathing
Stabilization of nrem sleep- bzd , antidepressants
