睡眠障礙問題於全球盛行,來自睡眠呼吸中止因素則占了不少比例,而阻塞性睡眠呼吸中止症(OSA)為最常見的一種型態。研究顯示,患有OSA的人口全球約有一億人,而有高達八成未經診斷與治療。
阻塞性睡眠呼吸中止症(OSA)是一種與睡眠相關的呼吸障礙疾病。發生於睡眠時,舌頭或喉嚨後方的軟組織鬆弛塌陷,造成上呼吸道狹窄或阻塞,減少空氣進入肺部,進而導致呼吸暫停。當呼吸中止造成缺氧時,腦部藉由喚醒人體,以回復正常呼吸。患者經常因呼吸中止從睡夢中醒來,醒後回復正常呼吸,如此反反覆覆每晚可達數十至數百次不等,嚴重干擾睡眠,造成白天精神不濟、無法專心,或是極度嗜睡。
睡眠呼吸中止症未接受治療可能造成之影響:
-
高血壓
-
心血管疾病
-
中風
-
糖尿病
-
憂鬱症
-
癌症
阻塞性睡眠呼吸中止症(OSA)常見症狀:

鼾聲如雷或打鼾頻繁
-
旁人觀察到睡眠時呼吸中斷無聲現象
-
睡眠中突然喘氣或大聲吸氣
-
