Clinical Predictors of Apnea-hypopnea During Propofol Sedation

Sleep Apnea

To relate two different predictive values of sleep apnea: the STOP score (snoring while sleeping, daytime tiredness, observed breathing stoppages, and high blood pressure) and the estimated respiratory disturbance index (eRDI) with the occurrence of apnea-hypopnea during propofol sedation,thirty four middle-aged male patients who underwent urologic surgery under spinal anaesthesia will be enrolled. Before surgery, patients will be asked to complete a STOP-questionnaire. The eRDI will be calculated using the modified Mallampati's grade, tonsil grade, and the body mass index. After performing spinal anaesthesia, propofol will be infused and adjusted to BIS 70-75. An ApneaLinkTM, which measures airflow through a nasal cannula, will be then applied to estimate the level of apnea-hypopnea.

Prospective Evaluation of Heart Failure Patients With Central Sleep Apnea

Central Sleep ApneaHeart Failure

Central sleep apnea (CSA) has been associated with increased mortality and primarily occurs in patients with heart failure (HF). The primary purpose of this study is to document the natural progression of moderate to severe CSA in heart failure patients.

Impact of Sleep Apnea on Diabetic Foot Wound.

Diabetic FootSleep Apnea

Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is a common comorbidity of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. A low transcutaneous oxygen tension (PtcO2) measured on the foot is pejorative prognostic factor for the healing of a diabetic foot wound. SAS causes intermittent nocturnal hypoxia and sympathetic overactivity. The investigators hypothesized that SAS could be a factor reducing the PtcO2.Therefore, the main objective of this study is to assess the variation in PtcO2 between the end of the night and midday in patients with -or at risk of- diabetic foot wound according to the presence or not of sleep apnea syndrome.The secondary objective is to address the microvascularisation of diabetic patients having foot wounds according to their status regarding sleep apnea syndrome.

A Prevalence Study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Subjects With Chest Pain, Positive Exercise Treadmill...

Obstructive Sleep ApneaCardiac Syndrome X1 more

Cardiac syndrome X consists of a triad of chest pain, abnormal exercise stress testing and normal coronary angiogram, and is hypothesized to be related to endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial dysfunction is also reported to be linked to obstructive sleep apnea. While chest pain can be one of potential presenting symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, the investigators hypothesize that obstructive sleep apnea is common in subjects with cardiac syndrome X.

AirSense 10 AHI Validation Study

Sleep Apnea

The AirSense 10 platform is able to detect respiratory events at night and report these data via telemonitoring. The accuracy of the AirSense 10 will be compared with scoring with polysomnography (PSG). 100 patients will be observed in a sleep facility under PSG and AirSense treatment.

Sleep Apnea Screening

Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

To assess the incidence of Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (SAHS), both obstructive and central, in patients with: 1) pacemaker indication; 2) implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRTD), 3) heart failure and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and 4) heart failure and reduced LVEF.

Prevalence of Sleep Disordered Breathing

Unstable AnginaAcute Myocardial Infarction1 more

A novel technique in identifying unspecified sleep apnea has been developed. This technique uses signals typical acquired from a bedside monitor that is found in critical care environments. Those signals are then processed by a sleep analysis algorithm to provide an Apnoea Hypopnea Index (AHI) score. This study is intended to determine whether the prevalence of sleep disordered breathing identification among patients in a Coronary Care Unit (CCU) using this novel approach is significantly different than using routine techniques.

The Influences of Intervention With Home-based Recovery Activity in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Background: OSAS is a type of sleep disorder characterized by intermittent, partial or complete upper airway (UA) collapse, seriously impacting sleep apnea and respiratory insufficiency. The major upper airway dilator muscle (genioglossus) is more active during periods of stable breathing compared with periods of cyclical breathing when obstructive apneas occurred. UA muscle strength is linearly related to the inspiratory pump muscle strength. The ratios of UA muscle strength (tongue protrusion, TP) and inspiratory pump muscle strength (PImax) were not different between individuals with and without OSAS. However, a highly wakeful ratio of TP force to PImax appears to be associated with a reduced propensity to moderate-to-severe OSAS. Up to 95% of OSAS cases are treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), which is the most effective, commonly used, and low-risk treatment method. However, patients using CPAP therapy could face ongoing difficulties. Aims: To evaluate the effects of home-based exercise for patients with moderate to severe OSAS. This study was a randomized clinical trial conducted at three different intervention protocols as experimental groups. We will use cluster random sampling assign to each group. CPAP treatment group will be the control group. Methods: Subject above 20 years old will be diagnosed to moderate and severe OSAS. Subjects will be assign to walking exercise (WE), Threshold Inspiratory Muscle Trainer (TIMT) and Tongue Muscle Trainer (TMT) treatment groups. We will compare the Polysomnography (PSG) data, Epworth Sleepiness scale (ESS), World Health Organization Quality of Life( WHOQOL) questionnaire is a shorter version of the original instrument (WHOQOL-BREF), 6-minute walking test (6MWD), rate of perceived exertion scale (RPE), flow-volume loop (FV-Loop), tongue and grasp muscle strength, anthropometric data and daily note at baseline, 3 months (end-of-intervention) and 6 months (post intervention follow-up) in patients with moderate to severe OSAS. They will undergo three months of the home-based exercises. Patients will be followed up with weekly telephone calls and be interviewed monthly. Expected results: By using the WE, TIMT and TMT therapies, the airway collapse during sleep will be prevented when the whole body muscle strength, inspiratory pump muscle strength and tongue muscle strength are enhanced.
