Abstract:

Senare års forskning visar på att obstruktivt sömnapnésyndrom, OSAS, är en både underdiagnostiserad och underbehandlad sjukdom. Detta beror delvis på att många personer med OSAS är omedvetna om sitt tillstånd. Sjukdomen innebär återkommande totala andningsuppehåll under sömn och en hypoxi som leder till en rad olika komplikationer, däribland hjärtkärlsjukdomar. Syftet med denna studie var att utreda vad som påverkar OSAS och vilken roll sjuksköterskan kan spela i vården av dessa patienter. Metoden som användes var en litteraturundersökning. Resultatet baseras på tio vetenskapliga artiklar som

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Obstruktivt sömnapnésyndrom (OSAS) är en vanlig sömnrelaterad andningsstörning som innebär att patienten får apnéer (totalt andningsflödesstopp) och/eller hypoapnéer (delvis andningsflödesstopp) under nattsömnen. Dessa leder till störd nattsömn, vilket leder till kroppslig påverkan. OSAS ger både fysisk och psykisk påverkan, vilket i sin tur resulterar i att många patienter upplever sämre livskvalité. En av de vanligaste behandlingarna för OSAS är CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) som med hjälp av övertrycksandning hjälper till att hålla de övre luftvägarna öppna under sömn.

Abstract:

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic disorder consisting of episodes with impaired breathing due to obstruction of the upper airways. Treatment with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a potentially effective treatment, but adherence is low. Several potential factors affecting adherence, e.g., subjective sleepiness and personality, are only quantifiable through questionnaires. Better knowledge about psychometric properties of such questionnaires might improve future research on CPAP adherence and thus lead to better treatment options. Aim: Study I: To descr

Background. Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is associated with an increase in nocturnal gastro-oesophageal reflux (nocturnalGOR) events and symptoms, however the mechanism for this remains undefined.

The combination of OSA and nocturnalGOR could be particularly problematic for individuals who have had a lung transplant in whom Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS) limits survival.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is a common sleep disorder that has drawn the attention of neuropsychologists because of its possible deleterious effects on cognition. Several are the causes of the impairments this syndrome can produce, like fragmentation of sleep, intermittent nocturnal hypoxia and daytime sleepiness. Apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) may also play a role in OSAS and it has been suggested as a trigger of cognitive impairment and of dementia-like patterns.

Abstract:

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), also referred to as obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea (OSAH), is a sleep disorder that involves cessation or significant decrease in airflow in the presence of breathing effort. It is the most common type of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and is characterized by recurrent episodes of upper airway collapse during sleep. These episodes are associated with recurrent oxyhemoglobin desaturations and arousals from sleep. Despite being a common disease, OSAS is underrecognized by most primary care physicians; an estimated 80% of Americans with OSAS are not diagnosed.

Abstract:

This thesis aimed at developing and evaluating a tailored behavioural sleep medicine intervention for enhanced physical activity and healthy eating in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and overweight. Participants with moderate or severe OSAS (apnea-hypopnea index ≥15) and obesity (Studies I-II) or overweight (Studies III-IV), treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) (Studies I-II) or admitted to CPAP treatment (Studies III-IV), were recruited from the sleep clinic at Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden. Semi-structured individual interviews were analysed usi
