KidSource Store The American Heritage Children's Dictionary Paranoid Sisters' Child Safety Made Easy by Lisa Carter and Lori Marques Advertisement BTG International Inc. (a subsidiary of BTG plc, (LSE: BGC), a leading international technology transfer company) announced today that it is offering licenses to a sensor technology that can be used to accurately and non-intrusively monitor for conditions of sleep apnea, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), or other respiratory disorders in infants, children and adults. This fiber-optic-based sensor technology addresses the growing need for non-invasive, reliable and low-cost monitoring systems for such sleep disorders. Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious disorder caused by obstruction of the upper airway during sleep which affects around 18 million Americans. According to the National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research the vast majority of patients with sleep disorders currently remain undiagnosed. Moreover, in the US, SIDS remains the leading cause of death in infants during the first year of life - claiming the lives of over 6,000 babies each year.

Test Your Sleep IQ Information provided courtesy of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome A brief description Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) 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 respiration. Obstructive sleep apnea is far more common and occurs when air cannot flow into or out of the person's nose or mouth even though efforts to breathe continue. In a given night, the number of involuntary breathing pauses or "apnea 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.

Day Hospital Pulmonary Function Laboratory Pulmonary Medicine and Cystic Fibrosis Respiratory Care Services ... Sleep Service at Packard Children's Hospital Encourages Sweet Dreams Respiratory Disorders Obstructive Sleep Apnea What is obstructive sleep apnea? Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when a child stops breathing during periods of sleep. The cessation of breathing usually occurs because of a blockage (obstruction) in the airway. Tonsils and adenoids may grow to be large relative to the size of a child's airway (passages through the nose and mouth to the windpipe and lungs). Inflamed and infected glands may grow to be larger than normal, thus causing more blockage. The enlarged tonsils and adenoids block the airway during sleep, for a period of time. The tonsils and adenoids are made of lymph tissue and are located at the back and to the sides of the throat. During episodes of blockage, the child may look as if he/she is trying to breath (the chest is moving up and down), but no air is being exchanged within the lungs. Often these episodes conclude with a period of awakening and compensation for lack of breathing. Periods of blockage occur regularly throughout the night and result in a poor, interrupted sleep pattern. Sometimes, the inability to circulate air and oxygen in and out of the lungs results in lowered blood oxygen levels. If this pattern continues, the lungs and heart may suffer permanent damage.

Subscribe now >> Diagnosis and Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when breathing stops during sleep, perhaps hundreds of times a night. About 75% of the patients seen each year at sleep disorders laboratories are diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA usually occurs because tissues of the throat and mouth improperly block the airway. Less common is another type of sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, which appears to be related to a malfunction of the brain’s normal signal to breathe. Sleep-disordered breathing is strongly associated with high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, heart attack and stroke, as well as compromised quality of life and significant social and emotional problems. OSA is very common in children, occurring with symptoms such as poor attention, behavioral problems, delayed growth and snoring. Often, enlarged tonsils and adenoids (growths of lymph node tissue in the upper throat) are the cause. Abnormal snoring and excessive sleepiness are two of the major symptoms of sleep apnea. The result of sleep apnea is frequent awakening, which causes restless sleep. Sleep apnea sufferers may report not feeling refreshed when they awake in the morning or frequently falling asleep during the day, which can be very dangerous when driving. Many patients with sleepiness are unaware of a problem. A careful history may be required to differentiate sleepiness from OSA.
