“…Assessment of snoring is hampered by the relative paucity of sleep laboratories in this country, and formal polysomnography is not available in most departments. Our policy is to provide 'sleep screening' (Moran and Orr, 1985) with a trained nurse who will observe apnoeas as they occur and correlate these with the transcutaneous oxygen saturation of the blood. Direct observation is useful as hypoxaemic events can occur without any concurrent apnoeas.…”

“…However, many authors feel the degree of nocturnal O2 desaturation is an essential measure in addition to the number of apneic events, in diagnosing sleep apnea (Kales, 1987;Moran, 1985;Suratt, 1983). Therefore, we accepted only those apneic events associated with 4% or more desaturation from baseline.…”

Obstructive disordered breathing during sleep in patients with spinal cord injury

1990

SummaryLittle is known about respiration and sleep in spinal cord injured (SCI) patients, and yet they frequently have complaints related to sleep. Four SCI patients with various sleep complaints were evaluated with nocturnal polysomnography. All 4 had evidence of obstructive sleep apnea (disordered breathing). These findings suggest that obstructive sleep apnea may be contributing to disruptive sleep in SCI patients and may be responsible for many of their daytime symptoms.

“…Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), which was introduced by Fujita et al 1 and modified by Moran and Orr, 2 is the most commonly performed surgical procedure for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic disruptive snoring. The aim of UPPP is reduction of the soft tissue at the nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal levels to increase the volume of the oropharyngeal cavity, thus reducing upper airway resistance, particularly during sleep.…”
