Fonoaudiologia e apneia do sono: uma revisão

Abstract: RESUMOTema: a Síndrome da Apneia/Hipopneia Obstrutiva do Sono (SAHOS) é definida pela Academia Americana do Sono como a presença de episódios recorrentes de obstrução parcial ou total das vias aéreas superiores durante o sono e manifesta-se como uma redução (hipopneia) ou cessação completa (apneia) do fluxo aéreo, apesar da manutenção dos esforços inspiratórios. A SAHOS motiva o chamado ronco crônico, sonolência e caracteriza-se pela parada do fluxo aéreo respiratório por pelo menos, 10 segundos. O diagnóstico… Show more

“…At the initial myofunctional evaluation, most of the patients in the study presented changes in positioning in the back of the tongue, soft palate, and tonus of the suprahyoid muscles, as reported in the literature 8,23 . These changes modify the oropharyngeal space and encourage the occurrence of tissue collapse during sleep 23,[25][26][27] .…”

“…In individuals suffering from OSAS and snoring, this reduction in the tone of dilator muscles results in a decrease in size and volume, thus generating a pressure imbalance and increasing negative pressure in the oropharynx during inspiration. This leads to resistance in upper airway structures, noises (snoring), reduction (hypopnea), or complete cessation of the airflow (apnea), and frequent sleep awakenings [5][6][7][8] . Other factors that cause obstruction of the upper airway structures include anatomical changes, poor craniofacial formations, poor dental occlusion 9 , and functional changes such as obesity 7 .…”
