About

In the framework of pathophysiological trait in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients, a simplified method is proposed to measure upper airway (UA) collapsibility and muscle responsiveness during wakefulness.

Enrollment: 66 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
• At home-polygraphy with at least one EEG channel (PSG) reporting moderate-to severe obstructive sleep apnea (apnea-hypopnea index >14).

Exclusion criteria

• OSA treatment ongoing during two weeks before PSG
• Unstable cardio-respiratory disease in the 3 months before enrollment
• Subjects in O2 treatment

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Description:

Patients evaluated for sleep disorders, who present an at home-polygraphy with at least one EEG channel (PSG) reporting moderate-to severe obstructive sleep apnea (apnea-hypopnea index \>14).

Treatment:

Diagnostic Test: Tests of upper airway collapsibility and muscle responsiveness.
