C109 NEW TECHNOLOGY IN SLEEP: DIAGNOSTICS AND THERAPEUTICS: Spectral Changes Of Breathing Sounds From Wakefulness To Sleep In People With Different Severity Of Sleep Apnea

RATIONALE-Tracheal breathing sounds are affected by structural and physiological changes of the upper airway (UA); they have been used for monitoring and detecting obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). CONCLUSION- Findings of this study show both more compliance (low-frequency effect) and more stiffness (h...

Summary:RATIONALE-Tracheal breathing sounds are affected by structural and physiological changes of the upper airway (UA); they have been used for monitoring and detecting obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). CONCLUSION- Findings of this study show both more compliance (low-frequency effect) and more stiffness (high-frequency effect) of the UA in severe OSA during wakefulness.
