| description | During the past decade there has developed a widespread realization that sleep exerts a profound impact on individuals with underlying disturbances of respiratory structure or function. In some instances, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the underlying disorder may be clinically apparent, whereas in other cases, such as obstructive sleep apnea, the underlying problem may be subtle and unsuspected clinically. In both instances the nocturnal events can produce important manifestations during wakefulness, and may be either entirely responsible for the patient's clinical syndrome, or may aggravate the clinical condition and contribute to its natural progression. The purpose of this article is to review recent advances in the field of breathing disorders during sleep and to highlight these advances by discussing in detail the more common problems encountered in clinical practice. |
