Publisher's Synopsis
Recent advances in diagnostic devices have shown the extent to which sleep apnea syndrome can disrupt cardiac-respiratory function as well as sleep and physical and mental activities. This interdisciplinary volume brings together the most up-to-date information on sleep apnea and rhonchopathy presented by leading experts in the field. Main areas of interest include upper airway obstruction, the pathophysiology of sleep-related respiratory disturbances, cardiovascular abnormalities in sleep apnea, and sleep apnea in children. Special emphasis is placed on new diagnostic approaches and the non-surgical and surgical treatment of sleep-related breathing disorders.
