Snoring and upper airway properties.
Habitual snoring in adults may be related to upper airway dysfunction, although the precise relationship has never been studied. We quantitatively measured snoring and correlated it with upper airway properties in 50 apneic and 59 nonapneic adult male patients. Both groups were similar in terms of nasal airflow resistance and pulmonary function tests. We found a significant correlation between ...
متن کاملNeuromechanical interaction in human snoring and upper airway obstruction
Huang, Lixi, and John E. Ffowcs Williams. Neuromechanical interaction in human snoring and upper airway obstruction. J. Appl. Physiol. 86(6): 1759–1763, 1999.—The fact that snoring and obstructive apnea only occur during sleep means that effective neuromuscular functioning of the upper airway during sleep is vital for the maintenance of unimpeded breathing. Recent clinical studies in humans hav...
متن کاملSigns of Upper Airway Collapsibility in Snoring Sounds
We have shown that snoring fundamental frequency (F0) contours have an oscillating pattern in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as compared to the relatively smoother pattern in simple snorers. This points to the underlying upper airway instability and collapsibility in OSA. The 2 patterns were classified by 75% accuracy.
متن کاملRoentgenographic dimensions of the upper airway in snoring patients with and without obstructive sleep apnea.
The purpose of this study was to examine whether a simple test, such as routine roentgenographic views of the upper airway, is useful in identifying anatomic narrowing of the airway in patients with sleep apnea. To accomplish this, we prospectively studied a group of 117 patients (95 male and 22 female subjects) referred for evaluation of heavy snoring and possible obstructive sleep apnea. All ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Upper Airway in Patients with Snoring and OSA
Snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) both exhibit multilevel upper airway obstruction. The Importance of evaluating the dynamics of the obstructing upper airway cannot be emphasised enough. Accurate assessment and evaluation of the upper airway could potentially lead to improved surgical and non-surgical treatment outcomes. Most of these patients would have undergone an ambulatory sleep s...
