Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) contributes to respiratory issues and cardiac arrhythmias in patients after general anesthesia during the night following surgery.
- It involved analyzing patients with varying degrees of OSA and assessing the frequency of hypoxic episodes and cardiac irregularities during their first and third nights post-operation.
- Findings show that patients with moderate OSA experienced a higher incidence of cardiac arrhythmias linked to hypoxia on the third night after surgery, highlighting the need for better preoperative screening for OSA.
Purpose: Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is suspected when dyspnea associated with upper airway symptoms is triggered by exercise. This condition affects mainly adolescent athletes. Visualization of the obstruction, while the patient is experiencing the symptoms during continuous laryngoscopy during exercise (CLE-test) is the gold standard for diagnosing EILO.

The clinical and ventilatory chemosensitivity characteristics of SDB, namely obstructive, central and coexisting obstructive and central sleep apnoea (coexisting sleep apnoea) following stroke are poorly described.
Objective: To determine the respective clinical and ventilatory chemosensitivity characteristics of SDB at least 3 months after a first ischaemic stroke.
