ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To understand the perception of quality of life, functionality, and psychological aspects of adults with lower limb sarcoma who underwent conservative surgery or amputation. METHODS: Sociodemographic data were collected, and the following questionnaires were used: EORTC QLQ - C30 for quality of life, the Functional Assessment System (MSTS) for functionality and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) for depression symptoms. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 45 young adults with sarcoma, divided into two groups: amputation (29) and conservative surgery (16). Most were male, single and students. Average family income before and after the disease did not differ, but those that were employed had a better perception of general quality of life, as well as those with higher family income after the disease. Regarding the type of surgery, there was a predominance of amputation; osteosarcoma was the most common histological type and the most affected region was the femur. All participants participated in social, cultural, sporting or religious activities. MSTS and Beck scale values did not differ between procedures. CONCLUSION: Given the scarcity of studies on the subject at the national level, further investigations are suggested to explore aspects related to quality of life for patients with sarcomas. Level of Evidence III, Retrospective comparative study.


OBJETIVO: Conhecer a percepção da qualidade de vida, funcionalidade e aspectos psicológicos de adultos com sarcoma de membros inferiores, submetidos à cirurgia conservadora ou amputação. MÉTODOS: Foram coletados dados sociodemográficos, e utilizados os questionários: EORTC QLQ-C30 para a qualidade de vida; o Sistema de Avaliação Funcional (MSTS) para a funcionalidade; e o Inventário de Depressão de Beck (BDI) para sintomas de depressão. RESULTADOS: A amostra foi constituída por 45 adultos jovens com sarcoma, divididos em dois grupos: amputação (29) e cirurgia conservadora (16). Predominaram jovens do sexo masculino, solteiros e estudantes. A média da renda familiar antes e após a doença não diferiu, porém os que estavam trabalhando apresentaram melhor percepção de qualidade de vida global, assim como os com maior renda familiar após a doença. Quanto ao tipo de cirurgia, houve predomínio da amputação, o osteossarcoma foi o tipo histológico mais comum e a região do fêmur a mais acometida. Todos os participantes participavam de atividades sociais, culturais, esportivas ou religiosas. Os valores do MSTS e da escala de Beck não diferiram entre os procedimentos. CONCLUSÃO: Visto a escassez de estudos sobre o tema em nível nacional, sugerem-se novas investigações, a fim de explorar aspectos relacionados com a qualidade de vida para pacientes com sarcomas. Nível de Evidência III, Estudo retrospectivo comparativo.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Os tumores de nervo periférico normalmente são benignos, raros, de crescimento lento e pouco sintomáticos. O objetivo é descrever estratégias para o diagnóstico e tratamento de pacientes com tumores benignos que afetam o nervo ulnar. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo dos pacientes operados entre 2010 e 2015 com tumor benigno de nervo ulnar, segundo os sintomas, exames complementares, técnicas cirúrgicas realizadas e características demográficas. Resultados: O estudo incluiu 17(8%) pacientes, prevalência sexo feminino (65%) na quarta década de vida; e, natureza extrínseca, o lipoma, em seis casos (35%), seguido do tumor de origem intrínseca, o Schwannoma em 17% e hamartoma em 11%. A excisão tumoral foi total em 83% casos e parcial em 17% casos; em doze casos realizou-se a descompressão neural. Conclusão: Com as estratégias realizadas para o tratamento foi possível bons resultados funcionais em 88% dos pacientes operados. Os piores resultados foram nos tumores de origem vascular.


Introduction: Peripheral nerve tumors are usually benign, rare, slow-growing and little symptomatic. The objective is to describe strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with benign tumors of the ulnar nerve. Methods: This retrospective study of patients who underwent surgery between 2010 and 2015 for the treatment of benign tumor of the ulnar nerve analyzed patient symptoms and demographic characteristics, complementary examinations, and surgical techniques performed. Results: The study included 17 (8%) patients, with a prevalence of women (65%) in the fourth decade of life. The tumors tended to be extrinsic, with lipoma in 6 cases (35%); others were intrinsic, including schwannoma in 17% and hamartoma in 11% of the cases. Tumor excision was complete in 83% of cases and partial in 17% of cases; nerve decompression was performed in 12 cases. Conclusion: The strategies performed here yielded good functional results in 88% of patients. The worst results were in tumors of vascular origin.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To conduct an integrative review on quality of life (QOL) of patients with sarcoma who underwent conservative surgery or limb amputation. METHODS: We conducted a six-step integrative review by searching the databases LILACS, SciELO, PePSIC, Embase, and PubMed, using the descriptors: "Quality of life", "Bone cancer", "Sarcoma", "Limb Salvage," and "Amputation." Ten studies were selected according to: database, type of study, methods, researcher's profession, sex, histological type, title, country/region, and periodical/year of publication. RESULTS: Nine quantitative and one qualitative studies were included. All were conducted by physicians and correlated to QOL with the impact of diagnosis, psychosocial aspects, cancer treatment, and survival. Other aspects included type of surgery, functionality, rehabilitation, and a multidisciplinary approach. The QOL results were similar for conservative surgery and amputation in eight studies. In two, it was concluded that patients undergoing conservative surgery had a better QOL. CONCLUSION: The number of studies on QOL in patients with sarcoma is small. In most, there was no difference between the study groups. In addition, the studies indicated the importance of evaluation of QOL, since it has a direct effect on patients' physical manifestations and impacts their coping abilities. Level of evidence III, System review.


OBJETIVO: Conduzir uma revisão integrativa sobre qualidade de vida de pacientes com sarcoma, submetidos à cirurgia conservadora ou à amputação de membros. MÉTODOS: Revisão integrativa em seis etapas, com busca nas bases de dados LILACS, SciELO, PePSIC, Embase e PubMed, utilizando-se os descritores: "qualidade de vida", "câncer ósseo", "sarcoma", "salvamento de membro" e "amputação". Dez estudos foram selecionados de acordo com banco de dados, tipo de estudo, método, profissão do pesquisador, sexo, tipo histológico, título, país/região, periódico/ano de publicação. RESULTADOS: Foram incluídos nove estudos quantitativos e um qualitativo. Todos foram conduzidos por médicos e correlacionaram a qualidade de vida com impacto do diagnóstico, aspectos psicossociais, tratamento do câncer e sobrevida. Outros aspectos incluídos foram tipo de cirurgia, funcionalidade, reabilitação e abordagem multidisciplinar. Os resultados da qualidade de vida foram semelhantes para cirurgia conservadora e amputação em oito estudos. Em dois, concluiu-se que os pacientes submetidos à cirurgia conservadora tiveram melhor qualidade de vida. CONCLUSÕES: O número de estudos sobre qualidade de vida em pacientes com sarcoma foi pequeno. Na maioria, não houve diferença entre os grupos. Além disso, os estudos indicaram a necessidade de valorizar a avaliação da qualidade de vida, pois esta tem efeito direto nas manifestações físicas e impacto no enfrentamento da doença. Nível de evidência III, Revisão sistemática.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Studies that assess the upper airways in sleep-related breathing disorders have been performed only in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome who seek medical attention. Therefore, in addition to the need for population studies, there are no data on the orofacial-cervical physical examination in subjects with upper airway resistance syndrome. OBJECTIVES: To compare the orofacial-cervical examination between volunteers with upper airway resistance syndrome and without sleep-related breathing disorders. METHODS: Through questionnaires, physical measurements, polysomnography, and otorhinolaryngological evaluation, this study compared the orofacial-cervical physical examination, through a systematic analysis of the facial skeleton, mouth, throat, and nose, between volunteers with upper airway resistance syndrome and volunteers without sleep-related breathing disorders in a representative sample of the adult population of the city of São Paulo. RESULTS: There were 1042 volunteers evaluated; 49 subjects (5%) were excluded as they did not undergo otorhinolaryngological evaluation, 381 (36%) had apnea-hypopnea index > 5 events/hour, and 131 (13%) had oxyhemoglobin saturation < 90%. Among the remaining 481 subjects (46%), 30 (3%) met the criteria for the upper airway resistance syndrome definition and 53 (5%) met the control group criteria. At the clinical evaluation of nasal symptoms, the upper airway resistance syndrome group had more oropharyngeal dryness (17% vs. 29.6%; p = 0.025) and septal deviation grades 1-3 (49.1% vs. 57.7%; p = 0.025) when compared to controls. In the logistic regression model, it was found that individuals from the upper airway resistance syndrome group had 15.6-fold higher chance of having nose alterations, 11.2-fold higher chance of being hypertensive, and 7.6-fold higher chance of complaining of oropharyngeal dryness when compared to the control group. CONCLUSION: Systematic evaluation of the facial skeleton, mouth, throat, and nose, between volunteers with upper airway resistance syndrome and volunteers without sleep-related breathing disorders, showed that the presence of upper airway resistance syndrome is mainly associated with nasal alterations and oropharyngeal dryness, in addition to the risk of hypertension, regardless of gender and obesity.


Resumo Introdução: Estudos que avaliam a via aérea superior (VAS) nos distúrbios respiratórios relacionados ao sono (DRRS) foram realizadas somente em pacientes com Síndrome da apneia obstrutiva do sono (SAOS) que procuram o atendimento médico. Portanto, além da necessidade de estudos populacionais, não há dados sobre o exame físico cérvico-orofacial em indivíduos com Síndrome de Resistência das Vias Aéreas Superiores (SRVAS). Objetivos: Comparar o exame cérvico orofacial entre voluntário com SRVAS e sem DRRS. Método: Através de questionários, medidas físicas, polissonografia e avaliação otorrino-laringológica comparou-se o exame físico cérvico orofacial, através de uma análise sistemática do esqueleto facial, boca, faringe e nariz, entre voluntários com SRVAS e voluntários sem DRRS em uma amostra representativa da população adulta da cidade de São Paulo. Resultados: Avaliamos 1042 voluntários. Foram excluídos: 49 indivíduos (5%) que não realizaram avaliação otorrinolaringológica; 381 (36%) apresentaram índice de apneia e hipopnéia (IAH) > 5 eventos/hora e 131 (13%) apresentaram saturação da oxihemoglobina < 90%. Entre os 481 voluntários restantes (46%), 30 (3%) preenchiam os critérios estabelecidos para a definição de SRVAS e 53 (5%) que preenchiam os critérios do grupo controle. Na avaliação clínica dos sintomas nasais, o grupo SRVAS apresentou mais ressecamento orofaríngeo (17% vs. 29,6%; p = 0,025), desvio septal grau 1 a 3 (49,1% vs. 57,7%; p = 0,025), comparado ao controle. No modelo de regressão logística observamos que indivíduos do grupo SRVAS apresentaram uma razão de chance 15,6 vezes maior de apresentarem nariz alterado; 11,2 vezes maior de serem hipertensos e 7,6 vezes maior de se queixarem de ressecamento orofaríngeo quando comparados ao grupo controle. Conclusão: A avaliação sistemática do esqueleto facial, boca, faringe e nariz, entre voluntários com SRVAS e voluntários sem DRRS, mostrou que a presença de SRVAS está principalmente associada à alterações nasais e ressecamento orofaríngeo, além do risco de hipertensão arterial, independentemente do gênero e obesidade.

ABSTRACT

O tumor de corpo carotídeo é uma neoplasia rara, geralmente benigna, que acomete, sobretudo, indivíduos entre a quarta e a quinta décadas de vida. Manifesta-se pela presença de massa cervical consistente localizada abaixo do ângulo da mandíbula, pulsátil e comumente indolor. Pode evoluir para dor local, disfagia, soluços, rouquidão e síndrome do corpo carotídeo hipersensível. Este artigo relata os casos de duas pacientes diagnosticadas com essa neoplasia e submetidas ao tratamento cirúrgico. A primeira foi submetida a uma ressecção em bloco do tumor, enquanto a segunda, com estadiamento mais precoce, foi tratada com uma ressecção subadventicial da lesão.


A carotid body tumor is a rare neoplasm, generally benign, that predominantly affects people between their fourth and fifth decades of life. It manifests as a pulsatile and generally painless cervical mass with firm consistency, located below the angle of the jaw. It can progress to the extent that it causes localized pain, dysphagia, hiccups, hoarseness and hypersensitive carotid body syndrome. This article reports the cases of two female patients diagnosed with this tumor who were treated surgically. The first was treated with block resection of the tumor, while the second patient, who had an early stage tumor, was treated with subadventitial resection of the lesion.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: Nos estágios finais da reconstrução torácica, consequente a exéreses tumorais, são necessários procedimentos complexos e implantes. O que requer cuidados multidisciplinares, com a participação dos cirurgiões torácicos, plástico, radiologista e fisioterapeuta. O objetivo foi descrever as opções de reconstrução torácica após ressecção de neoplasia, realizado no Hospital Sarah Brasília. MÉTODO: Estudo retrospectivo de reconstrução torácica em tempo único, após excisão de tumor, fisioterapia respiratória com ventilação não invasiva e exercícios. RESULTADOS: Entre 2007 a 2012 foram operados 10 pacientes, sete homens e três mulheres; idade 10 a 31 anos; oito apresentavam tumores torácicos metastáticos (osteosarcoma, sinoviosarcoma, Fibrosarcoma epitelioide esclerosante e Rabdomiosarcoma) e dois originários da parede torácica (fibromatose e condrosarcoma). Observou-se boa evolução no pós-operatório imediato, com extubação ao final da cirurgia, retirada do dreno torácico entre 5° e 8° PO. As complicações foram: atelectasia (10%), recorrência tumoral (10%), e óbito em 3 (30%) casos . CONCLUSÃO: Foi possível a reconstrução torácica em tempo único utilizando tela de polipropileno, polimetilmetacrilato e retalhos musculares, com recuperação precoce da função pulmonar e baixo índice de complicações imediatas.


INTRODUCTION: Complex procedures and implants are required in the final stages of chest wall reconstruction after tumor excision. This process requires multidisciplinary care with participation from thoracic and plastic surgeons, a radiologist, and a physical therapist. The goal of this study was to describe the options for chest wall reconstruction after neoplasm resection at Hospital Sarah Brasilia. METHOD: A retrospective study of one-time chest wall reconstruction after tumor excision, respiratory physical therapy with noninvasive ventilation, and exercises was conducted. RESULTS: Between 2007 and 2012, 10 patients underwent surgery (seven men, three women; age range: 10-31 years); eight patients had metastatic thoracic tumors (e.g., osteosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma) and two had tumors originating from the chest wall (fibromatosis and chondrosarcoma). The outcomes were good after the immediate postoperative period, with extubation occurring at the end of surgery and chest tube removal between the fifth and eighth postoperative day. Three cases (30%) involved complications of atelectasis (10%), tumor recurrence (10%), or death. CONCLUSION: One-time chest wall reconstruction using polypropylene mesh, polymethylmethacrylate, and muscle flaps was possible and was associated with early recovery of pulmonary function and a low rate of immediate complications.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a 2-month exercise training associated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment on the subjective and objective sleep measurements, quality of life, and mood in moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients. METHODS: Male patients were randomized into two treatment groups: CPAP (n = 19) and CPAP + exercise (n = 13). All patients completed 1 month of sleep hygiene, 2 months of treatment (CPAP or CPAP + exercise), and 1 week of washout (no treatment). Fletcher and Luckett sleep questionnaire, Epworth sleepiness scale, sleep diaries, polysomnography, SF-36 inventory of quality of life, Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire, neck circumference, and body composition were evaluated. CPAP + exercise group also underwent cardiopulmonary exercise test before and after treatment. RESULTS: Both treatments were effective in improving subjective sleepiness but CPAP + exercise treatment was more effective in maintaining this improvement after washout. No significant differences were found in most of the sleep parameters studied in both groups. CPAP + exercise group showed lower values of tension and fatigue on POMS and higher values of physical functioning, general health perception, and vitality on SF-36 after treatment. CONCLUSIONS: A 2-month exercise training associated with CPAP treatment for OSAS patients has a positive impact on subjective daytime sleepiness, quality of life (physical functioning and general health perception), and mood state (tension and fatigue).

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Identificar os fatores de risco para complicações pulmonares em pacientes com sarcoma após serem submetidos a toracotomia para a ressecção de nódulos pulmonares. MÉTODOS: Estudo de coorte retrospectivo com 68 pacientes consecutivos com diagnóstico de sarcomas e submetidos a 174 toracotomias para a ressecção de nódulos pulmonares. A variável dependente foi definida como a ocorrência de qualquer complicação pulmonar pós-operatória. As variáveis independentes foram relacionadas com o paciente, o diagnóstico de base e o tipo de procedimento cirúrgico. Os dados foram analisados segundo um modelo multivariado de estimação de equações generalizadas, com uma função de ligação logística e uma estrutura de correlação simétrica. RESULTADOS: Houve 24 complicações (13,8 por cento; IC95 por cento: 9,0-19,8), incluindo um óbito. Os pacientes que apresentaram complicações pós-operatórias tiveram um tempo médio de internação duas vezes superior àqueles sem complicações (18,8 ± 10,0 dias vs. 8,6 ± 6,0 dias; p < 0,05). As variáveis que se correlacionaram com o desfecho foram o tipo de ressecção (em cunha ou anatômica; OR = 3,6; IC95 por cento: 1,5-8,8), necessidade de transfusão sanguínea (OR = 9,8; IC95 por cento: 1,6-60,1) e número de nódulos ressecados (OR = 1,1; IC95 por cento: 1,0-1,1). O modelo multivariado obtido exibiu uma área sob a curva ROC de 0,75 (IC95 por cento: 0,65-0,85). CONCLUSÕES: As complicações pulmonares pós-operatórias após a ressecção de nódulos pulmonares em pacientes com sarcoma não foram raras, ocorrendo em cerca de 10 por cento dos procedimentos. A ocorrência dessas complicações pode ser antecipada pelo uso de ressecção não em cunha, necessidade de hemotransfusão e maior número de nódulos ressecados. Assim, já no pós-operatório imediato, é possível identificar pacientes de risco, que devem ser estritamente monitorizados durante o período pós-operatório imediato. Para esses pacientes, todas as medidas preventivas devem ser tomadas.


OBJECTIVE: To identify the risk factors for pulmonary complications after thoracotomy for the resection of pulmonary nodules in patients with sarcoma. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study involving 68 consecutive patients diagnosed with sarcoma and submitted to a total of 174 thoracotomies for the resection of pulmonary nodules. The dependent variable was defined as the occurrence of any postoperative pulmonary complications. The independent variables were related to the patient, underlying diagnosis, and type of surgical procedure. We analyzed the data using a multivariate generalized estimating equations model with logistic link function and a symmetric correlation structure. RESULTS: Complications were observed in 24 patients (13.8 percent, 95 percent CI: 9.0-19.8), and there was one death. The mean length of hospital stay was twice as long in the patients with postoperative complications as in those without (18.8 ± 10.0 days vs. 8.6 ± 6.0 days; p < 0.05). The variables that correlated with the outcome measure were the type of resection (wedge vs. anatomic; OR = 3.6; 95 percent CI: 1.5-8.8), the need for blood transfusion (OR = 9.8; 95 percent CI: 1.6-60.1), and the number of nodules resected (OR = 1.1; 95 percent CI: 1.0-1.1). The multivariate model showed an area under the ROC curve of 0.75 (95 percent CI: 0.65-0.85). CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative pulmonary complications were common after pulmonary nodule resection in patients with sarcoma, occurring in approximately 10 percent of the procedures. The occurrence of such complications can be expected when techniques other than wedge resection are employed, when blood transfusion is required, and when a great number of nodules are resected. Therefore, it is possible to identify patients at risk for pulmonary complications, who should be closely monitored in the immediate postoperative period. In such patients, all preventive measures should be taken.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to determine whether an orientation session led by a polysomnography (PSG) technician during the night of positive airway pressure (PAP) titration can improve objective sleep quality and acceptance of nasal mask in patients referred to a sleep laboratory. Consecutive patients (n = 1,481), referred for PAP titration during PSG, were retrospectively evaluated. Patients were distributed in two groups: the control group, patients referred for PAP titration (n = 699) who did not undertake an orientation session led by a PSG technician, and the oriented group, patients referred to PAP titration (n = 782) who followed the orientation session. Demographic data were similar (p > 0.05) between groups (control vs oriented) for: male/female proportion (76:24 vs 75:25%), age (mean +/- SD; 53 +/- 12 vs 52 +/- 12 years), Epworth Sleepiness Scale score (12 +/- 6 vs 12 +/- 6), and body mass index (31 +/- 6 vs 31 +/- 6 kg/m(2)). PSG data were different (p < 0.05) between the groups for: total sleep time (312 +/- 81 vs 326 +/- 85 min), sleep efficiency (74 +/- 17 vs 77 +/- 14%), sleep latency (22 +/- 24 vs 18 +/- 29 min), S1 (8 +/- 8 vs 6 +/- 5%), S3 4 (19 +/- 11 vs 21 +/- 13%), rapid eye movement sleep (17 +/- 9 vs 18 +/- 9%), and wake after sleep onset (106 +/- 68 vs 93 +/- 58 min). After the orientation session, the number of patients who did not accept nasal mask during PSG recording was higher in the control group than the oriented group (80 vs 44; p = 0.001). An orientation session led by a PSG technician can improve objective sleep quality and nasal mask acceptance during the night of PAP titration. Such an addition to PAP titration could be an efficient intervention to improve PAP compliance.

ABSTRACT

Sleepiness is a physiological function, and can be defined as increased propension to fall asleep. However, excessive sleepiness (ES) or hypersomnia refer to an abnormal increase in the probability to fall asleep, to take involuntary naps, or to have sleep atacks, when sleep is not desired. The main causes of excessive sleepiness is chronic sleep deprivation, sleep apnea syndrome, narcolepsy, movement disorders during sleep, circadian sleep disorders, use of drugs and medications, or idiopathic hypersomnia. Social, familial, work, and cognitive impairment are among the consequences of hypersomnia. Moreover, it has also been reported increased risk of accidents. The treatment of excessive sleepiness includes treating the primary cause, whenever identified. Sleep hygiene for sleep deprivation, positive pressure (CPAP) for sleep apnea, dopaminergic agents and exercises for sleep-related movement disorders, phototherapy and/or melatonin for circadian disorders, and use of stimulants are the treatment modalities of first choice.

ABSTRACT

Cases of violent behavior during sleep have been reported in the literature. However, the incidence of violent behavior during sleep is not known. One epidemiological study showed that approximately 2% of the general population, predominantly males, presented violent behavior while asleep. In the present study, the authors describe clinical and medico-legal aspects involved in violent behavior investigation. Violent behavior refers to self-injury or injury to another during sleep. It happens most frequently following partial awakening in the context of arousal disorders (parasomnias). The most frequently diagnosed sleep disorders are REM behavior disorder and somnambulism. Violent behavior might be precipitated by stress, use of alcohol or drugs, sleep deprivation or fever.

ABSTRACT

Casos de comportamento violento (CV) durante o sono são relatados na literatura. A incidência de comportamento violento durante o sono não é muito conhecida. Um estudo epidemiológico mostra que cerca de 2 por cento da população geral apresentava comportamento violento dormindo e eram predominantemente homens. Neste artigo, os autores descrevem aspectos clínicos e médico-legais envolvidos na investigação do comportamento violento. O comportamento violento se refere a ferimentos auto-infligidos ou infligidos a um terceiro durante o sono. Ocorre, muito freqüentemente, seguindo um despertar parcial no contexto de um transtorno de despertar (parassonias). Os transtornos do sono predominantes diagnosticados são: transtorno de comportamento REM e sonambulismo. O comportamento violento poderia ser precipitado pelo estresse, uso de álcool e drogas, privação do sono ou febre.

ABSTRACT

A sonolência é uma função biológica, definida como uma probabilidade aumentada para dormir. Já a sonolência excessiva (SE), ou hipersonia, refere-se a uma propensão aumentada ao sono com uma compulsão subjetiva para dormir, tirar cochilos involuntários e ataques de sono, quando o sono é inapropriado. As principais causas de sonolência excessiva são a privação crônica de sono (sono insuficiente), a Síndrome da Apnéia e Hipopnéia Obstrutiva do Sono (SAHOS), a narcolepsia, a Síndrome das Pernas Inquietas/Movimentos Periódicos de Membros (SPI/MPM), Distúrbios do Ritmo Circadiano, uso de drogas e medicações e a hipersonia idiopática. As principais conseqüências são prejuízo no desempenho nos estudos, no trabalho, nas relações familiares e sociais, alterações neuropsicológicas e cognitivas e risco aumentado de acidentes. O tratamento da sonolência excessiva deve estar voltado para as causas específicas. Na privação voluntária do sono, aumentar o tempo de sono e higiene do sono, o uso do CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) na Síndrome da Apnéia e Hipopnéia Obstrutiva do Sono, exercícios e agentes dopaminérgicos na Síndrome das Pernas Inquietas/Movimentos Periódicos de Membros, fototerapia e melatonina nos Distúrbios do Ritmo Circadiano, retiradas de drogas que causam sonolência excessiva e uso de estimulantes da vigília.
