WAKE UP, SNORING IS DANGEROUS!

SLEEP DISORDERS…
• Insomnia: 32 million (unreliable estimate)• Sleep Apnea: estimated 18 million Americans
(NHLBI) • Obstructive sleep apnea: 12 million Americans
Narcolepsy: 200,000 Americans (NHLBI estimate); 50,000 diagnosed.
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: 500,000 Americans (CDC/NIAID)
• 2011 Health Grades Inc.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea…
A Common Problem:• Estimated prevalence: 40 MILLION Americans who are undiagnosed (1 in 6) • 50-90% diagnosed are referred for a sleep
evaluation. Most do not follow through.
Myers et al, JAMA, 2013
![Page 6: Sandy Coulson Sleep Disorder Spreecast](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55586995d8b42a8d018b49ed/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
CENTRAL SLEEP APNEA…
• The sleeper whose problem is central sleep apnea periodically does not breathe at all, or breathes so shallowly that oxygen intake is ineffectual. The brain just seems to shut down. In either type of sleep apnea, obstructive or CENTRAL, the lack of oxygen usually causes the patient to wake, at least briefly. (Hypopneas)

Screening Questionnaire…
• Do you snore?• Are you sleepy during the daytime?• Do you have headaches or sore throats in the AM?• Has anyone witnessed apneas or respiratory gasps?• Do you not get ‘enough sleep’ despite adequate time
in bed?• If they answer any affirmatively, use the “EPWORTH
SLEEPINESS SCALE” TO ASSES SEVERITY. We give this to everyone!

Is It a COLD or an ALLERGY?
• Cold: • Runny nose and sneezing last 1-3 days; if cold symptoms persist for more than a
week, see a doctor - you may have complications such • as bronchitis or sinusitis • • Sore throat and / or coughing• • General malaise -fever, muscle aches, chills, sweats, loss of appetite, fatigue -which
indicate an infection • • Burning sensation in nose, often accompanied by nasal/sinus tenderness • • Mucus can become yellow, green, thick, foul-smelling or bloody
![Page 14: Sandy Coulson Sleep Disorder Spreecast](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55586995d8b42a8d018b49ed/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Allergy:
• Persistent watering of nose and eyes lasts anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on the allergen
• Itchiness of the nose, eyes and roof of the mouth or back of throat • General feeling of well-being, except for areas experiencing allergic
symptoms; appetite usually is not diminished
• In most cases, sinuses are not painful or tender • Mucus is watery and clear

Medical Conditions /Sinusitis…
• Diabetes• Gastro esophageal reflux disease• Nasal polyps or septal deviation• Disorders of the immune system (fungal infections are especially risky)• Oral or intravenous steroid treatment• Hypothyroidism -- causes congestion that often clears
up when the condition is treated• Cystic fibrosis -- a genetic disorder in which the mucus is
very thick and builds up

Are pregnant women atrisk for sleep apnea?
Potential risk factors for SDB in pregnancy:
• Nasal congestion and gestational rhinitis (1)• Increased Mallampati scores (2)• Reduction in size of upper airway (3,4)• Weight gain• Reduction in FRC (5) and airway collapsibility (6)• Vacuum effect related to increased ventilator drive (7)

Consequences of Apnea for Pregnant Women…
• Pregnancy associated with lower residual volume and lower functional residual capacity (FRC)• Lower oxygen reserve because of lower FRC and higher oxygen consumption
![Page 37: Sandy Coulson Sleep Disorder Spreecast](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55586995d8b42a8d018b49ed/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Consequences of Apnea on Fetus:
• Concern for fetal wellbeing with recurrent desaturations and possible hypoventilation (Data from high altitude residents strongly suggests risk of growth restriction and PEC with chronic hypoxia) (Doctors in Denver are very aware of the risks!)
![Page 39: Sandy Coulson Sleep Disorder Spreecast](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55586995d8b42a8d018b49ed/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Reflux - Another Issue…
• In a study presented at the 70th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology, 81 patients with documented sleep complaints at least three nights per week underwent polysomnographic sleep evaluations. 26 percent had acid reflux. Of those who suffered with reflux, 94 percent of the recorded reflux events were associated with arousal from sleep or awakening.

Issues with Medications…
• Benzodiazepines, hypnotics, narcotics may relax the airway more in patients who have sleep apnea.• Narcotics can contribute to central sleep apnea.
