#113 - Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome: In The Dark, I Feel Your Resistance
Manage episode 434975953 series 3365942
Somewhere between normal nocturnal breathing and sleep apnea exists a strange entity. This condition, often debated in terms of its mere existence is upper airway resistance syndrome, and knowing about it can be the difference between solving your sleep-related breathing woes and continuing your struggles. In this episode we will:
- define upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS)
- review the concept and pathophysiology of upper airway resistance
- contrast how this disorder is defined in comparison to sleep apnea
- learn the difference between an AHI (apnea-hypopnea index) and an RDI (respiratory disturbance index)
- understand how different sleep studies (in-lab studies, home sleep studies/home sleep tests) might differ in their ability to diagnose the disorder
- list the various treatments that can be applied to the diagnosis
