CDS836 Sleep Apnea and Snoring Test with
Questions and 100% Correct Answers
Snoring is three times more common in? - Answer obese people
Cessation or near-complete cessation (greater than 70% reduction) of airflow for a
minimum of 10 seconds - Answer Apnea
Is greater than 30% reduction of amplitude in thoracoabdominal movement or airflow
as compared with baseline, with a greater than 4% oxygen desaturation - Answer
Hypopnea
AHI determines severity of OSA and its calculated by using? - Answer #apneas +
#hypopneas/#total hours of sleep
AHI >5 + what makes it more severe? (6) - Answer daytime sleepiness
cognitive impairment
mood alterations
HTN
IHD
History of stroke
Most common type of sleep apnea, presence of respiratory effects - Answer Obstructive
This type of sleep apnea has an abscence of respiratory efforts
Secondary to other pathologies such as CHF, brain damage, respiratory depressants
(narcotics, alchohol) - Answer Central
, This type of sleep apnea can occur along with obstructive sleep apnea - Answer Mixed
two main consequences of sleep apnea? - Answer Fragmented sleep
Oxygen desaturation
Arousals and transition to stage 1 or 2 (simulating partial awakening and resumption of
breathign) - Answer Fragmented sleep
Depending on severty and duration of the obstruction, the patient can present hypoxia,
anoxia, and hypercapnia - Answer Oxygen desaturation
10 consequences of sleep apnea? - Answer Sleepiness
Impaired quality of life
Decreased cognitive function
Increased hospitalizations and health care costs
Increased car accidents
Impaired glucose control
HTN
Increased cardiac risk
Increased mortality rate
Impotence
Review epidemiology of OSA - Answer review
BMI>40________ more likely to have sleep apnea. BMI >50___________ have lseep
apnea - Answer 40%
