摘要: Two non-obese patients suffering from hypersomnia with periodic breathing, who presented predominantly obstructive apnoea persisting throughout sleep, underwent tracheotomy placement of a permanent tracheal cannula. Before tracheostomy there was serious state alveolar hypoventilation marked rise in pulmonary arterial pressure which appeared during sleep. After breathing sleep became regular, normal, and daytime drowsiness disappeared. These observations suggest that the obstruction upper air tracts represents most important factor pathogenesis breathing.
