Sleep-Related Hypoventilations
Resources for Patients and Caregivers
Sleep-related hypoventilation describes breathing that is too slow or shallow during sleep. The first signs of hypoventilation typically occur during sleep because when we’re awake, our brain can play a more active role5 in regulating our breathing.

- Noncontact respiration monitoring techniques in young children: A scoping reviewby Marjolein van der Linden on April 25, 2024
Pediatric sleep-related breathing disorders, or sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), cover a range of conditions, including obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, sleep-related hypoventilation disorders, and sleep-related hypoxemia disorder. Pediatric SDB is often underdiagnosed, potentially due to difficulties associated with performing the gold standard polysomnography in children. This scoping review aims to: (1) provide an overview of the studies reporting on safe, noncontact monitoring...
- Existence and pattern of sleep-related breathing disorders in patients diagnosed with bronchial asthmaby Saroj Kumari Meena on April 24, 2024
Asthma and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are commonly prevalent diseases, and both can co-exist to result in an alternate overlap syndrome, where a bidirectional relationship can adversely affect each other. This study aimed to determine the existence and pattern of sleep-related breathing disorders in subjects with bronchial asthma. It was prospectively conducted at the National Institute of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases, New Delhi, in diagnosed cases of bronchial asthma. A subjective...
- A comparison of two obesity-related hypoventilation disorders: Impact on sleep, quality of life and neurocognitive outcomes and the effects of positive airway pressure therapyby Yizhong Zheng on April 4, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: The symptom impact between two separate hypoventilation disorders (OHS and OHAD), in terms of sleepiness, sleep quality, quality of life, and cognitive function, were similar. OHS and OHAD had similar treatment responses in these parameters after 3 months of PAP therapy.Nocturnal ventilatory support in OHS.
- Largest Neck Circumference Associated With Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Case Reportby Mohamed Bilal Haradwala on March 25, 2024
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-related breathing disorder associated with obesity markers such as neck circumference (NC), waist circumference (WC), and body mass index (BMI). A greater NC has been linked to a higher risk of OSA. To date, the largest reported NC has been 20.5 inches. We present a case of a patient who came to our clinic for OSA management and was found to have an NC of 25 inches, the largest reported to date. The primary objective of this case is to stimulate...
