Effects of i.v. midazolam on upper airway resistance.
We have measured changes in supraglottic airway resistance (Rsg) produced by midazolam. Ten subjects were studied on two occasions, receiving in a random order either midazolam 0.1 mg kg-1 or placebo. Supraglottic pressures were measured using a balloon-tipped catheter and air flow with a pneumotachograph. Rsg were calculated at a flow rate of 0.3 litre s-1 during inspiration. No changes in Rsg...
متن کاملUpper-airway resistance syndrome.
Upper-airway resistance syndrome (UARS) was first recognized in children in 1982 (Guilleminault et al., 1982). The term UARS, however, was not used until adult cases were reported in 1993 (Guilleminault et al., 1993). The description of UARS brought the attention of clinicians to a group of patients that was left undiagnosed and untreated despite severe impairment. The authors indicated that th...
متن کاملEffects of upper airway carbon dioxide on upper airway resistance and muscle activity in young guinea-pigs.
The upper airway (UA) of adult animals is known to contain carbon dioxide-sensitive receptors and UA CO2 reflexly affects breathing, UA dilator muscle activity and UA resistance. These effects may function in the control of UA patency. There is evidence that some UA reflexes are stronger in young than in adult animals, but it is not known whether CO2-sensitive receptors are present in the UA of...
متن کاملThe upper airway resistance syndrome.
The upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) is a recently described form of sleep-disordered breathing in which repetitive increases in resistance to airflow within the upper airway lead to brief arousals and daytime somnolence. This review will first describe the chronological progression of our understanding of UARS within the broader context of sleep-disordered breathing. The primary symptom...
متن کاملThe Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome has been recognized as a major public health problem. Both its cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities and symptoms motivate for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. The main stimulus associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and explaining deleterious consequences is intermittent hypoxia. The upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) has been d...
