The group treated with Buteyko reported an astonishing 92% reduction in the use of Bronchodilators (Ventolins)! This compared to the other group who were treated with conventional treatment which showed no improvement. I was hooked! As quickly as possible I did the Butyeyko Course, passed my exam and completed the necessary case studies. In no time I was practising and found that by incorporating my Stress Consultancy experience I could in fact gain even better results.

88. Chronic Obstructive Airways Disease Abstract with links to obstructive sleep apnea. http://www.priory.com/cmol/chronic.htm

Chronic Obstructive Airways Disease There can be large falls in arterial oxygen saturation during sleep in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In general, these falls can be predicted from daytime oxygen levels and are not due to classical OSA syndrome, but to a number of factors which combine to produce worsening hypoxaemia during sleep. These patients are often at the limits of their respiratory capacity, and the loss of the intercostal and accessory muscle contribution to breathing, and the increase in upper airways resistance associated with REM sleep, cause marked falls in ventilation. In addition, patients may be hypoxic while awake and small falls in ventilation and PaO2 lead to large falls in arterial oxygen saturation during sleep. The hypoxic episodes demonstrated by overnight oximetry in a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease differ in character from those seen in patients with OSA syndrome (figure 10). Figure 10. Overnight arterial oxygen saturation monitoring in a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. There is some evidence that increases in upper airway narrowing during sleep, short of apnoeas and even snoring, may contribute to the development of CO2 retention in these patients. However classical sleep apnoea is not significantly more common in unselected COPD patients with raised CO2 levels, and excessive nocturnal hypoxaemia is not one of the predictors of long- term survival in patients with COPD.

Questionaire for identifying possible sleep apnea New Technology Publishing HealthyResources COPD Courage and Information: COPD book ... SITE MAP New Technology Publishing, Inc. Questionaire for identifying possible sleep apnea: score yourself Cuestionario de autoevaluacisn de Apneas de Suego You don't have to feel lousy, sleepy, or tired. "My father snored and gasped. I snore and gasp. What could that have to do with feeling lousy all the time? Turns out there was a connection. Find out what it is." -Daniel Pinkwater, author and National Public Radio commentator. Every night, a phantom-sleep apnea syndrome-steals sleep from millions of unsuspecting victims. You may be among them if your sleep is repeatedly disturbed by snoring, by choking halts in breathing, and by gasping efforts to breathe. You could be in danger of losing your health, years of productivity and happiness, and your life. The struggle between sleep and breathing is caused by sleep apnea syndrome which leaves victims unaware of the source of their daytime sleepiness. Less than five percent of those who may have sleep apnea have been diagnosed and treated. Because sleep disorders medicine is so new, many physicians may not be trained to recognise the symptoms. So, chances are that you could be affected without you or your doctor suspecting it. This short quiz is designed to help you to recognize possible sleep apnea so that you can realize there can be relief for your symptoms.

FACTS ABOUT SLEEP APNEA This page last updated on 07/28/97 12:35 AM The information below is a reproduction of material from the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research. No changes have been made to the text of the article, but section headings have been highlighted. The National Center on Sleep Disorders Research is a part of the National Institutes of Health National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. WHAT IS SLEEP APNEA? Sleep apnea is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition that is far more common than generally understood. First described in 1965, sleep apnea is a breathing disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. It owes its name to a Greek word, apnea, meaning "want of breath." There are two types of sleep apnea: central and obstructive. Central sleep apnea, which is less common, occurs when the brain fails to send the appropriate signals to the breathing muscles to initiate respirations. Obstructive sleep apnea is far more common and occurs when air cannot flow into or out of the person's nose or mouth although efforts to breathe continue. In a given night, the number of involuntary breathing pauses or "apneic events" may be as high as 20 to 30 or more per hour. These breathing pauses are almost always accompanied by snoring between apnea episodes, although not everyone who snores has this condition. Sleep apnea can also be characterized by choking sensations. The frequent interruptions of deep, restorative sleep often lead to early morning headaches and excessive daytime sleepiness.

Advanced Search Obstructive Sleep Apnea LYLE D. VICTOR, M.D. Oakwood Hospital, Dearborn, Michigan O bstructive sleep apnea is a disorder in which complete or partial obstruction of the airway during sleep causes loud snoring, oxyhemoglobin desaturations and frequent arousals. As a result, affected persons have unrestful sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness. The disorder is associated with hypertension, impotence and emotional problems. Because obstructive sleep apnea often occurs in obese persons with comorbid conditions, its individual contribution to health problems is difficult to discern. The disorder has, however, been linked to angina, nocturnal cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, stroke and motor vehicle crashes. Even though obstructive sleep apnea is fairly common, it often remains undiagnosed in primary care practice. Because the disorder is associated with significant morbidity and even some mortality, family physicians need to be familiar with its clinical presentation and treatment. Pathophysiology Obstructive sleep apnea is caused by repetitive upper airway obstruction during sleep as a result of narrowing of the respiratory passages. Patients with the disorder are most often overweight, with associated peripharyngeal infiltration of fat

Advanced Search Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Primary Care LYLE D.

A PDF version of this document is available. Download PDF now (8 pages /524 KB). More information on using PDF files. See page 465 for definitions of strength-of-evidence levels. S leep apnea is a cessation of breathing during sleep that is caused by repetitive partial or complete obstruction of the airway by pharyngeal structures. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea often are overweight, snore loudly, and complain of daytime fatigue and sleepiness. A sleep laboratory may be used to confirm the diagnosis. Family physicians should be able to diagnose and manage this relatively common disorder. Deciding When to Treat The risk of long-term mortality increases when patients have 20 or more respiratory events per hour during sleep testing. The initial step in the management of sleep apnea is deciding which patients need treatment. The severity of the condition is measured by the number of apneas (cessations of airflow) or hypopneas (reductions in airflow) that cause sleep arousal. The number of these events per hour is commonly called the "apnea-hypopnea index" or the "respiratory disturbance index." An often quoted study recommended treatment if patients had 20 or more respiratory events per hour, because long-term mortality increases above that level.
