EXCESSIVE DAYTIME SOMNOLENCE IN WOMEN WITH ABNORMAL RESPIRATORY EFFORTS DURING SLEEP 3rd International Conference on Sleep and Breathing Guilleminault, C., Stoohs, R., Clerk, A., Simmons, J., LABANOWSKI, M. AMER SLEEP DISORDERS ASSOC. 1993: S137–S138

Abstract

An abnormal level of respiratory efforts, indicated by significant increase in peak negative esophageal pressure (Pes), can be associated with daytime somnolence in snoring pre-menopausal women. No drop in oxygen saturation (SaO2) or visual evidence of transient electroencephalographic (EEG) arousals can be found at repeat polysomnography. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) titrated on Pes measurements eliminates somnolence.
