16. Severity criteria
18. Repetitive Oxygen desaturations
20. OSA and cardiovascular consequences: negative thoracic pressure (1) Obstructive apneas will lower intrathoracic pressures and therefore increase transmural systolic left ventricular pressure. This will increase left ventricular afterload and compromise left ventricular functionObstructive apneas will lower intrathoracic pressures and therefore increase transmural systolic left ventricular pressure. This will increase left ventricular afterload and compromise left ventricular function
22. OSA and cardiovascular consequences: arousal reaction (2) During the apnea the reflex from pulmonary stretch receptors, that normally suppresses SNA, is interrupted leading to an increase in SNA. Hypoxia and hypercapnia also increases SNA by stimulation of the peripheral chemoreceptors and by provoking arousals.
Increased sympathetic nervous system activity, a cardinal
feature of obstructive apnea, results from the interaction of
several excitatory mechanisms normally dormant during
sleep. During apnea, the reflex arising from pulmonary
stretch receptors that suppresses central sympathetic discharge
during normal breathing ceases, disinhibiting central
sympathetic outflow. The ensuing hypoxia and hypercapnia
further augment sympathetic activity by stimulating peripheral
and central chemoreceptors.39,40
Although arousal from sleep at the
termination of obstructive apnea facilitates the resumption
airflow by stimulating pharyngeal dilator muscles,37,42 the
resulting excitatory input from cortical centers will cause a
further burst of sympathetic outflow accompanied by a loss of
vagal tone.11,43

27. Hypoxia/reoxygenation Alterations in energy (ATP) metabolism and oxidative stress In response to hypoxia the aerobic production of ATP is impaired and degradation products as ADP, AMP, hypoxanthine and uric acid accumulate, indicating energy crisis. As a consequence, glycolysis is upregulated.
Concomitantly, due to hypoxia, circulating xanthine oxidase and endothelial xanthine oxidase are activated by action of proteases (xanthine dehydrogenase is converted to xanthine oxidase).
During the period of reoxygenation, the newly activated xanthine oxidases utilize the hypoxanthine and molecular oxygen to produce free radicals and oxidants as superoxide.
ROS production is amplified, namely due to the potent oxidant OH-.
Several independent studies that demonstrate increased accumulation of ATP degradation products in OSA patients are consistent with this mechanism:
- Findley: increase in plasma adenosine levels in OSA (3 fold increase).In response to hypoxia the aerobic production of ATP is impaired and degradation products as ADP, AMP, hypoxanthine and uric acid accumulate, indicating energy crisis. As a consequence, glycolysis is upregulated.

28. As you know three models have been proposed to explain the pathophysiology of UAC:
As you know different mechanisms are possible to explain the pathophysiology of UAC and each mechanism has its place, but no one is able to fully explain UAC. Therefore it is important to keep in mind a potential influence of all these mechanisms.
The mechanisms leading to upper airway collapse can be put in 3 different models:
1) The oldest model explains UAC by the occurrence of an anatomic abnormality which causes structural narrowing,
(but there are more than enough arguments against an important role for this model: Cephalometric variables and BMI only explain 33% of the variance of AHI and the UAC can occur at different sites.)
2) In the balance of forces theory UAC occurs due to an imbalance between activation of diaphragm and upper airway muscle activity
Impaired reflex activation of upper airway dilator muscle activity
3) In the third model the upper airway is considered as a rigid tube with a flexible segment which behaves like a Starling resistor.
When we want to evaluate the upper airway, we have to keep in mind a potential influence of all these measurements.

? ‘wakefulness drive’, breathing becomes dependent of feedback control mechanisms
Depressed central drive & defective effector organs (respiratory muscles/thoracic wall)

71. COPD and sleep apnea: overlap syndrome
72. COPD and sleep apnea: overlap syndrome OSAS occurs no more frequently in COPD than a similarly aged normal population.
Inadequate ventilatory drive in some patients with COPD may favour the development of OSA
Awake hypoxaemia, hypercapnia and pulmonary hypertension are more common than in either condition alone.
Patients develop more marked oxygen desaturation during apnoea because of the lower starting SaO2.
73. NOCTURNAL ASTHMA Clinical picture:
Asthma symptoms at night or early morning: wheezing/awakening
with decreases in PEFR
Is not a different condition,
but is severe asthma

> 80% asthmatics if unstable
? normal circadian variation in airway calibre (max 4 PM, min 4 AM):
In asthmatics: 15-50% (morning dip)
Relevant dip > 20%
In normals: variability PEF 8%
Mechanisms:
