Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Patients With Acute Supra- and Infratentorial Strokes: A Prospective Study of 39 Patients

摘要: Background and Purpose Although recent studies suggest a high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with acute stroke, systematic characterization sleep-disordered breathing based on the severity topography stroke has not been performed. Methods We prospectively studied 39 noncomatose adult subjects (15 women, 24 men; mean age, 57 years) first stroke. Sleep history, cardiovascular risk factors, as estimated by Scandinavian Stroke Scale, extent demonstrated computed tomographic or magnetic resonance imaging scan brain were assessed. Polysomnography was performed 10 days (range, 1 to 49 days) after onset. Monitoring during wakefulness, non–rapid eye movement sleep, rapid included measurements nasal/oral airflow, respiratory effort, oxygen saturation. Results Breathing abnormal wakefulness 7 (18%) 26 (67%). Obstructive ...
