Sleep disordered breathing (SDB), particularly obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), is often overlooked, impacting health and quality of life. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing this common condition.

Area of Science:

  • Sleep Medicine
  • Pulmonology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) encompasses several conditions, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), central sleep apnea, upper airway resistance syndrome, and obesity hypoventilation.
  • These conditions are frequently overlooked and undertreated by healthcare providers, despite their significant impact on illness, quality of life, and public health.
  • Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most prevalent form of SDB and is the primary focus of this review.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the underappreciated cause-and-effect relationships between SDB and adverse health outcomes.
  • To provide a comprehensive overview of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
  • To emphasize the role of nurses in managing SDB.

Main Methods:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Review of epidemiology, pathophysiology, and behavioral manifestations of OSA.
  • Discussion of cardiovascular comorbidities associated with OSA.
  • Outline of clinical evaluation and treatment strategies for OSA.

    • Main Results:

    • OSA is a common SDB syndrome with significant implications for patient health and well-being.
    • Untreated OSA is linked to increased illness and poorer quality of life.
    • Effective management strategies exist for OSA, requiring multidisciplinary approaches.

    Conclusions:

    • There is a critical need to improve healthcare provider awareness and management of SDB, especially OSA.
    • Early recognition and intervention for OSA can mitigate its negative effects on health and quality of life.
    • Nurses play a vital role in patient education, monitoring, and management of SDB.
