Snoring and Sleep Apnea Syndrome

Snoring (snore) is the upper respiratory airflow during sleep through the pharyngeal mucosa marginal impact at the mucosal surface, and shook the secretions arising from the voice; its site began in the nasopharynx, Until the epiglottis, including soft palate, uvula, tonsils and velopharyngeal arch and tongue arch palate, tongue, pharynx muscle and pharyngeal mucosa, a loudness at 60 dB below the snoring sound, and often it is a normal phenomenon.
Snoring (snoreing disease) if snoring loudness more than 60 db above prejudice respiratory airflow through the upper respiratory tract, affecting people with the rest room or causing trouble. Snoring the lesser of (simple) does not cause obvious symptoms of hypoxia; weight (type) snoring loudness up to 80 decibels above, and with varying degrees of hypoxia symptoms, such as obstructive snoring is sleep apnea syndrome synonym is because the snoring sound of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in a very prominent symptom.
Sleep apnea syndrome (sleep apnea syndrome, SAS) refers to adult in seven hours of sleep at night time, there are at least 30 times apnea, each time apnea at least 10 seconds or more and apnea index (apnea index) (that is, the average number of apnea) greater than 5. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, OSAS) because of upper airway obstruction lesions "(including pharyngeal mucosa collapse) caused by sleep apnea syndrome. Such patients if each apnea time 10 seconds calculation , 30 apnea for 300 seconds, that is, seven hours of sleep time, at least five minutes of apnea, which is at least apnea time of the sleep time 1.2% although sleep apnea syndrome patients , the evening the number of apnea more than 30 times, each time apnea can reach 20 to 90 seconds, and often more than 30 times. individual patient time sleep apnea half time.
