Arousal from sleep: implications for obstructive sleep apnea pathogenesis and treatment
DJ Eckert, MK Younes - Journal of Applied Physiology, 2014 - journals.physiology.org
Historically, brief awakenings from sleep (cortical arousals) have been assumed to be vitally
important in restoring airflow and blood-gas disturbances at the end of obstructive sleep …

Eszopiclone increases the respiratory arousal threshold and lowers the apnoea/hypopnoea index in obstructive sleep apnoea patients with a low arousal threshold
Recent insights into sleep apnoea pathogenesis reveal that a low respiratory arousal
threshold (awaken easily) is important for many patients. As most patients experience stable …

Obstructive sleep apnea in the adult obese patient: implications for airway management
JL Benumof - Journal of clinical anesthesia, 2001 - Elsevier
Obstructive sleep apnea in the adult obese patient may be due, in part, to an increased
amount of pharyngeal tissue. Therefore, there is an increased risk of intubation and …
