síndrome de apnea del sueño con resistencia de la vía respiratoria superior
síndrome de apnea obstructiva del sueño
Scope note: Trastorno caracterizado por apneas recurrentes durante el sueño a pesar de esfuerzos respiratorios persistentes. Está producido por obstrucción de las vías aéreas superiores. Las pausas respiratorias pueden inducir HIPERCAPNIA o HIPOXIA. Puede haber arritmias cardiacas y elevación de las presiones arteriales de la circulación sistémica y pulmonar. Durante el sueño se producen despertares parciales, lo que da lugar a PRIVACIÓN DE SUEÑO y cansancio durante el día. Las afecciones asociadas incluyen OBESIDAD, ACROMEGALIA, MIXEDEMA, micrognatia, DISTROFIA MIOTÓNICA, distrofia adenotonsilar, y ENFERMEDADES NEUROMUSCULARES.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020181
Scope note: A disorder characterized by recurrent apneas during sleep despite persistent respiratory efforts. It is due to upper airway obstruction. The respiratory pauses may induce HYPERCAPNIA or HYPOXIA. Cardiac arrhythmias and elevation of systemic and pulmonary arterial pressures may occur. Frequent partial arousals occur throughout sleep, resulting in relative SLEEP DEPRIVATION and daytime tiredness. Associated conditions include OBESITY; ACROMEGALY; MYXEDEMA; micrognathia; MYOTONIC DYSTROPHY; adenotonsilar dystrophy; and NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES.
