| Definition (MEDLINEPLUS) |
Sleep apnea is a common disorder that causes your breathing to stop or get very shallow. Breathing pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes. They may occur 30 times or more an hour. The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea. It causes your airway to collapse or become blocked during sleep. Normal breathing starts again with a snort or choking sound. People with sleep apnea often snore loudly. However, not everyone who snores has sleep apnea. You are more at risk for sleep apnea if you are overweight, male, or have a family history or small airways. Children with enlarged tonsils may also get it. Doctors diagnose sleep apnea based on medical and family histories, a physical exam, and sleep study results. When your sleep is interrupted throughout the night, you can be drowsy during the day. People with sleep apnea are at higher risk for car crashes, work-related accidents, and other medical problems. If you have it, it is important to get treatment. Lifestyle changes, mouthpieces, surgery, and breathing devices can treat sleep apnea in many people. NIH: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute |
| Definition (MSHCZE) | Porucha spánku, při které se v dýchání objevují dlouhé přestávky apnoe vedoucí k zhoršenému okysličení krve. Apnoe je přerušení dechu na dobu 10 sekund a déle, má charakter centrální (chybějí dýchací pohyby), periferní (obstrukční pohyby jsou přítomny) či smíšený. Stav je spojen s nápadně hlasitým chrápáním. Ve dne trpí pacienti výraznou spavostí a mohou usnout i při důležitých činnostech vč. řízení motorového vozidla. Komplikací mohou být rovněž následná onemocnění krevního oběhu. Příkladem tohoto nikoliv vzácného syndromu je Pickwickův syndrom. Bývá rovněž ronchopatie. Tyto stavy vyžadují odborné neurologické, resp. plicní vyšetření. Používá se polysomnografie, EKG, měření krevních plynů. Léčba má složku režimovou (redukce hmotnosti, vyloučení alkoholu, hypnotik, kouření, úprava polohy při spánku), oxygenoterapie, zajištění přetlaku při dýchání během spánku (CPAP, BiPAP), chirurgické výkony v oblasti faryngu aj.

| Definition (MSH) | Disorders characterized by multiple cessations of respirations during sleep that induce partial arousals and interfere with the maintenance of sleep. Sleep apnea syndromes are divided into central (see SLEEP APNEA, CENTRAL), obstructive (see SLEEP APNEA, OBSTRUCTIVE), and mixed central-obstructive types. |
