Sleep Apnea in Renal Failure Sleep apnea is common in renal failure patients, and may be associated with coronary artery disease and stroke, arrhythmias and both systemic and pulmonary hypertension. It could contribute to the high mortality from cardiovascular disease in the dialysis population, but these answers, as well as the specific causes of sleep apnea in ESRD are unknown. The following links not only validate the frequency of sleep apnea in ESRD patients, but also offer a screening questionaire, diagnostic criteria and management guidelines. Twenty-nine consecutive patients with ESRD reporting disrupted sleep or daytime sleepiness underwent all-night polysomnography. The PLMS index and the total number of arrousals per hour predicted mortality. An index of greater than 20 was associated with a 20 month survival rate of 50%, compared with a 90% survival rate among those with a PLMSI less than 20.

It's most often caused by enlarged tonsils and adenoids (glands in the throat just behind the nose); when your child's muscles relax at night, these oversized glands can temporarily block air from getting to his lungs. Other causes of airway blockages include frequent illness ( ear infections sore throats , and tonsillitis allergies , being overweight How to tell if your child has sleep apnea The list of symptoms for sleep apnea is long. The most telling signs are snoring and difficulty breathing coughs or chokes at night, is a restless sleeper, and sweats profusely when he's asleep. Combined with any of the above symptoms, repeated night-wakings can be a sign of sleep apnea. Because they have trouble breathing, children with sleep apnea may stir more often, waking up to get the air they need.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea What is obstructive sleep apnea? Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a debilitating sleep and breathing disorder defined as the cessation of breathing for 10 seconds or more (an apnea) at least five times per hour of sleep. During sleep, the body's muscles relax, which can cause excess tissue to collapse into the upper airway (back of the mouth, nose and throat) and block breathing. When breathing is interrupted by an obstruction in the airway, the body reacts by waking enough to start breathing again. These arousals may occur hundreds of times each night but do not fully awaken the patient, who remains unaware of the loud snoring, choking and gasping for air that are typically associated with obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea sufferers never get "a good night's sleep" because repeated apneas and arousals deprive patients of REM and deep-stage sleep, leading to chronic

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.

Treatment of Snoring and Sleep Apnea by Dr. W. Keith Thornton, Associate Faculty (Keith Thornton is a dentist in Dallas who focuses his practice on treating temporomandibular disorders, snoring, and sleep apnea. He is an associate faculty member of the Pankey Institute and the Baylor College of Dentistry as well as a consultant to the Army, Navy, Air Force and the Veterans Administration. He has developed a number of medical devices that help treat snoring and OSA and has 17 issued patents. The Dallas Intellectual Bar Association recently named him inventor of the year.) Recent articles and advertisements in professional and lay literature promote the use of oral devices as a treatment for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. In response to patient needs, dentists have expanded their practices to treat sleep-disordered breathing. In order to best treat the patient and achieve maximum success, it is imperative for both the dentist and the patient to have a firm understanding of the disorder being treated. The Pankey Institute is the premiere institute in the field of sleep-disordered breathing and oral appliances. Dentists trained at the Institute are knowledgeable of the medical implications of oral appliance therapy and have a knowledge of the diagnosis and treatment of the condition. They have been taught how to work with the medical community and to achieve the best results for their patients.

home contents psychcorner family matters ... submit articles to CrescentLife ask the expert Sleep Apnea Brief pauses of breathing during sleep. Often associated with loud snoring, snorting and gasping for breath. Sleep apnea can result in daytime sleepiness, depression, and cardiovascular problems. S leep apnea is believed to affect at least 1out of every 200 Americans, 70 to 90 percent of them men, mostly middle-aged, and usually overweight. But the condition can afflict both men or women at any age. People with this disorder actually may stop breathing while asleep-even hundreds of timeswithout being aware of the problem. During an apnea attack, the snorer may seem to gasp for breath, and the oxygen level in the blood may become abnormally low. In severe cases, a sleep apnea victim may actually spend more time not breathing than breathing and may be at risk for death. In the most common form of the condition, obstructive apnea (also called upper airway apnea), air stops flowing through the nose and mouth, but throat and abdominal breathing efforts are uninterrupted. The snoring that results is produced when the upper rear of the mouth (the soft palate and the cone-shaped tissuethe uvulathat descends from it) relaxes and vibrates as air passes in and out. This sets up an air current between the palate and the base of the tongue, resulting in snoring. Typically, the individual will wake up, emit a vigorous snort or grunt while gasping for air, then immediately fall back to sleep, only to repeat the cycle.
