ABSTRACT
Obstructive sleep apnea is an insidious and potentially life-threatening disorder that is probably more prevalent than has been previously diagnosed. Since there is generally some mechanism for relief of the respiratory obstruction, this is a very successfully treatable disorder. A strong index of suspicion should be held in cases of oronasal or pharyngeal abnormalities with a potential for respiratory obstruction. Loud snoring (particularly a recent change) and daytime hypersomnolence should alert us. In-hospital sleep monitoring and arterial gas measurements can provide a definitive diagnosis.
