Síndrome Das Apnéias / Hipopnéias Obstrutivas Do Sono (Sahos)

Abstract: RESUMO:Os distúrbios respiratórios do sono constituem um tópico relativamente novo do conhecimento científico, cujo manejo envolve a participação de diversas Disciplinas da área Médi-ca. Sua importância tem crescido desde a disponibilização em escala "democrática" dos recursos diagnósticos e terapêuticos que se iniciou no começo dos anos de 1980. Isso permitiu constatações sucessivas do papel do sono e dos seus distúrbios no aumento da morbidade e da mortalidade. A prevalência também tem aumentado desde os pri… Show more

“…However, initially, women can present atypical symptoms (insomnia, fatigue, coexistent clinical depression or hypothyroidism) that can hide the real diagnosis. 4,5,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] The basic respiratory events that characterize OSA are: apnea (deriving from the total obstruction of URT) and hypopnea (deriving from a partial obstruction of URT). These events are associated to micro-arousals, hypoxemia and, in cases of extended events the Apnea-hypopnea Index (AHI) that is defined by the number of apneas and/or hypopnea per hour of sleep, allowing to classify the gravity of OSA.…”

“…Nevertheless, the determination of AHI isn't enough to classify the gravity of OSA, therefore it should also be related to the degree of sleepiness during the day and with to Arterial Oxygen Saturation (SaO 2 ).

It's a continuous process and not a prompt stage of a woman's life, since it embodies peri and post menopause.…”

“…Há 24 músculos participando das funções da faringe, ou seja, na deglutição, fala e respiração. O mús-culo genioglosso tem papel importante na permeabilidade da faringe 14 . No sono a atividade motora do conjunto muscular é diminuída ou abolida, reduzindo a luz do canal e a passagem de ar.…”

“…Other factors that cause obstruction of the upper airway structures include anatomical changes, poor craniofacial formations, poor dental occlusion 9 , and functional changes such as obesity 7 . Obesity is the main risk factor for OSAS as about 2/3 of patients with this condition are obese 2,10,11 . It is estimated that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome affects 4% of male and 2% of female adults over age 40 2,6 .…”
