Article Synopsis
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, analyzed in a study of 230 adult patients through polysomnographic recordings.
- The research indicated that the duration of apneic episodes increases as sleep progresses, with a noticeable rise during the initial sleep stages and a slower increase in later stages.
- There may be multifactorial mechanisms behind this increase, including sympathetic activation and reflex responses, though the precise causes remain unclear.
