The Values That Make The Company Of Innovation That I Believe It

3. Identify at least five signs or symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and star those symptoms that S.R. is having.

Introduction: “The National Sleep Foundation” says that a lot of people don’t know what sleep apnea is. Sleep Apnea is a dangerous disease that can lead to death while you’re sleeping.

18 study data were derived from the apnea database (PhysioNet) corresponding to MIT/BIH database. AirFlow, SaO2, Abdominal and Thoracic Movements were obtained from full PSG records. Each record includes a period of nearly eight hours and signals annotation is done minute-by-minute. A minute is labeled as an apnea case if it contains at least one condition of apnea or hypopnea, otherwise labeled as a non-apnea. The patients mean age and weight are between 27 to 63 years (4810.8) and 53 to 135 kg (86.322.2), respectively. PhysioNet data are classified in two categories: Apnea Group (Class A, more than 100 minutes of apnea, mean age: 50 years in range of 29 to 63 years) and Normal Group (class C, less than 5 minutes of apnea, mean age of 33 years

Sleep disorders alter ones sleep pattern and often results in the inability to either sleep or sleep soundly. They often cause you to feel restless, tired, fatigued, and irritable. It is estimated that nearly 75 percent of adult Americans experience sleep disorder symptoms at least a few nights per week. At the same time, sleep disturbances in some form are seen in as many as 25 to 30 percent of infants and children (“Sleep Disorders” 2013). Clearly a huge conundrum in the world, sleep disorders affect an inordinate amount of people. Millions of people suffer or have suffered from a sleep disorder at one point in their lives and if mistreated can impact organ systems functioning negatively. Physical disturbances, medical issues,

The consequences of undiagnosed and untreated OSA are medically serious and economically costly. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is considered the gold standard of treatment for OSA along with lifestyle modifications. With CPAP use, patients can reduce their healthcare utilization and save money by reducing the impact of OSA symptoms, comorbidities, and motor vehicle accidents. Direct costs associated with comorbidities include increased medical expenses, emergency room visits, hospital inpatient visits, medication use, and mortality rates (American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2016).

Sleep apnea is a common sleeping disorder where a person has experiences of not breathing during sleep. Over 20 million Americans, mostly overweight men, suffer from sleep apnea. Despite these numbers, sleep apnea is often not treated directly because its symptoms are thought to be those of depression, stress, or just loud snoring. There may be a genetic component to this disorder as it often occurs within families.People with sleep apnea stop breathing for at least 10 seconds at a time; these short stops in breathing can happen up to 400 times every night.

The population who are diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) often experience daytime drowsiness and are at risk for ischemic heart disease, arrhythmias, hypertension, and other vascular related problems (Hsu et al., 2007). There are several treatment options for people with OSA, which are weight loss, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), dental appliances, and surgical procedure. This study evaluates patients who have

Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder whose prevalence is linked to an epidemic of obesity in our country. Sleep apnea is due to recurrent episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep that are caused by elevations in upper airway collapsibility during sleep. OSA is characterized by recurrent episodes of partial or complete airway obstruction resulting in hypoxemia, hypercapnia, or a respiratory arousal.

Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is an abnormal breathing pattern during sleep characterized by snoring and increased respiratory effort and with variable severity where obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) constitutes the most severe form of it. Childhood OSA has been accepted recently to be associated with numerous adverse health outcomes, including both cognitive and behavioural deficits. (1) In a small study, childhood OSA was also related to potential neuronal injury in the hippocampus and frontal cortex. (2) Multiple risk factors have been identified as a risk factor but still the most widely accepted risk factor is adenotonsillar hypertrophy.

The three main patterns that cor pulmonale affects is the sleep-rest pattern, the activity-exercise pattern and the nutritional-metabolic pattern. On an average, most people are able to get at least 6-7 hours of sleep per night and are able to find some time to relax. We find that a sign of cor pulmonale is sleep apnea where during sleep the act of breathing repeatedly stops and starts again. This condition makes it hard for oxygen and blood to flow effectively through the lungs and the blood vessels. According to Advances in PH Journal, “obstructive sleep apnea syndrome occurs in approximately 10% of adult men and 5% of adult women and it has shown to increase pulmonary pressure during

ResMed is a global manufacturer of ventilation devices both for sleep apnea disease and hospital solution. It also manufacture masks associated to their devices and sell third party products like diagnoses device, to help manage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, sleep-disordered breathing (particularly sleep apnea), or other respiratory conditions. For the public, the company offers a non-contact sleep monitor, the S+ by ResMed, currently available in the US.

Presently, ResMed Inc. (RMD) is a professional developer, manufacturer and distributor of medical equipment for treating, diagnosing and managing sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and respiratory disorders. It sells a range of products such as masks, humidifiers and accessories, in more than 100 countries globally through a combination of wholly owned subsidiaries and independent distributors worldwide.

Participants were recruited according to availability, asked to complete the Stop Bang questionnaire and explained about the overnight use of a HSAT equipment (RESMED Apnea Link Air Home Sleep Test) and to return it the next day. The form of comorbidities was filled by the investigator. The results were scored and validated by the Clinical and

Almost half of children’s life is spent asleep. Therefore, it is important for the clinicians to know the effect of sleep on respiratory diseases. (Marcus, 2001) Sleep disordered breathing may lead to serious and miserable complications such as sleep fragmentation, cognitive and behavioral changes, growth retardation, pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale. Unfortunately the prevalence of sleep related breathing disorders is high (3-12% of pediatric population); obstructive sleep apnea syndrome alone affects 3% of children.(Church 2012) Before the development of sleep studies, pediatricians mainly depended on history and physical examination for the diagnosis of sleep disorders. Researchers have tried to formulate clinical score questionnaires as an alternative to polysomnography. For the first time in 1984, the role of history and physical examination in the diagnosis of OSAS was assessed by Brouillete. However, several studies have demonstrated that clinical presentation alone cannot differentiate sleep related breathing disorders such as primary snoring from OSAS. Brietzke SE (Brietzke, Katz et al. 2004) showed that only 55.8% of patients were identified by clinical presentation as OSAS; were confirmed by polysomnography later. This unreliability could be caused by several factors; the most significant one is inaccuracy of history as some parents may overestimate difficulties in

However, obstructive sleep apnea is just the opposite in which, it affects around two to four percent of kids’. The results of sleep
