3.1 Classification
Sleep pathologies are prevalent and frequent.
The classication of disorders plays several vital roles in Medicine. First, they are essential as a guide to clinicians in identifying the specic disease state. It pro­vides them with information regarding numerous related factors, including patho­genesis, prognosis, course, heritability, and therapeutics necessary for precision diagnosis and treatment.
It also serves to dene de domain of a given medical specialty.
The rst classication for sleep disorders was made by the American Disorders Sleep Association in 1979. It was named the Diagnosis Classication of Sleep and arousal diseases.
This classication was reviewed in 2011, and the third edition was performed in 2014.
The concepts are based on the International Classication of Sleep Disorders,
AASM, ICSD 2014—Third Edition (Table3.1), [1] here we join the concepts of The AASM Manual for Scoring of Sleep and Associated Events, 2.6 Version-2020 [1, 2].
These are the denitions adopted:
Apnea—There is a drop in the pick signal 90% of prevent signal, and last 10s (recommended).
Hypopnea—The pick signal excursion drop by 30% of pre-event base line is 10s, and PO2 desaturation ≥3% (recommended).

Obstructive—If it meets apnea criteria and is associated with continued or increased respiratory effort through the entire period of absent airow (recommended).
Central—If it meets apnea criteria and is associated with absent inspiratory effort, throughout the entire period of absent airow (recommended).
Mixed—If it meets apnea criteria, in the initial portion of the event absent inspi­ratory effort, followed by the reasumption of inspiratory effort in the second period of the event, without airow [2].
3.2 Classification
3.2.1 Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders
The sleep-related breathing disorders are characterized by abnormalities of respira­tion during sleep (Table3.1).
The disorders are:
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
Central sleep apnea disorders
Sleep-related hypoventilation disorders

Sleep-related hypoxemia disorder
Isolated symptoms and normal variants
Summary:
In general, patients have a combination of obstructive and central sleep apnea. The diagnosis is often based on which disorder predominates; this may vary from night to night, and over time in individual patients.
On the other hand, OSA is different in adults that in children.
These disorders are characterized by upper airway narrowing or closure during sleep while respiratory effort continues.
We will essentially pay attention to the breathing disorders during sleep of the adult that are the most frequent.
We will reference central apnea due to neurologic or medical condition and cite a new entity—treatment-emergent central sleep apnea.
Sleep-related hypoventilation disorders are characterized by an abnormal increase in arterial PCO2 during sleep (55 mm). Obesity hypoventilation syn­drome is in this category.
A reference is made to the sleep hypoxemia disorders, which are characterized by sustained periods of signicantly reduced oxyhemoglobin saturation dur­ing sleep.
Finally, a reference is made to hypoventilation syndrome, hypoxemias disorders, and normal variants like snoring or catathrenia.

3.3 Phenotypes andSleep andObstructive
Apnea Syndrome
Beyond the classication, we must pay attention to the purpose of treatment on patient phenotypes. With these tools, we can do “tailor-made” treatment for the patient with sleep disorder breathing (SDB) [3].
Three phenotypes have been identied—position-dependent OSA (POSA), severe OSA in obese patients (OSA and Obese), and OSA and periodic limb move­ments (OSA PLM).
There are nine variables that should be looked for: (1) Body mass index (BMI), (2) Systolic arterial blood pressure, (3) Daytime saturation of oxygen in the arterial blood (SaO2), (4) partial carbon dioxide pressure in arterial blood (PaCO2), (5) par­tial oxygen pressure in arterial blood (PaO2), (6) apnea–hypopnea index (AHI), (7) periodic limb movement index (PLMS), (8) supine AIH, and (9) nonsupine AHI.
POSA is the most frequent.
As we know, in our practice, many patients modify snoring and witnessed apneas changing positions from supine to lateral decubitus.
The prevalence of OSA and PLM is not high, but strongly correlate with arousals index and snoring and contributes to lower sleep quality. In this situation, OSA treatment is a good solution for both problems.
The phenotypes vary signicantly when comparing specic anthropometric, clinical, and polysomnographic ndings. However, these differences cannot be

identied only by measuring only the AHI index. The phenotype classication is completed classication with the AHI [3].
This is crucial for a complete diagnosis and treatment of OSA.
3.4 Obstructive Sleep Apnea Adult
The criteria diagnosis is in Table3.2.
OSA is characterized by repetitive episodes of complete (apnea) or partial (hypopnea) upper airway obstruction, during sleep and can occur in any age group.
It often results in a reduction of blood oxygen saturation and are in general ter­minated by brief arousals from sleep. These events last a minimum 10s.
The partners report snoring, breathing interruptions, as well episodes of gasping or choking.
Patients awaken in the morning feeling tired and unrefreshed.
This phenomenon may be exacerbated by the ingestion of alcohol or sedation medication.
During the day, excessive sleepiness during activities as conversing, eating, walking, or driving.
There is a direct relationship between frequency of AHI, and daytime symptoms, and its impact on life quality, but is not well correlated with the degree of oxygen desaturation.
A common nding in OSA is refractory hypertension, a risk factor, independent of obesity or smoking.
Patients with OSA have coronary artery disease, atrial brillation, and stroke.
In severe forms, it can develop pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale.
Also, it is associated with common gastroesophageal reux symptoms, nocturia, mood disturbance, and erectile dysfunction.
Table 3.2 Diagnosis criteria of adult sleep apnea syndrome

Some questionnaires, as Epworth Sleepiness Scale, can measure daytime sleepi­ness and quality of life. From a clinical perspective, there is no difference between patients that have predominantly apnea or hypopnea.
Patients with UARS (upper airway resistance syndrome) is a variant of OSA, where there are obstructive events, which results in arousals, but minimal arterial oxygen desaturation. In general, they snore and report daytime sleepiness [4].
Estimates of prevalence are dependent of how sleep-related respiratory events are dened.
General population-based studies indicate that OSA associated with daytime sleepiness occurs in 3–7% of adult men and 2–5% of adult women. However, because many individuals with OSA do not endorse daytime sleepiness, the inci­dence must be much higher. Some studies refer prevalence of AHI index >5/h as 24% in men and 9% in women, and the prevalence of OSA increases with age [5].
The ratio of men/women is approximately two to one.
Occurs in all racial and ethnic groups.
The major predisposing factor is obesity. About 60% of moderate or severe OSA is attributed to obesity. The risk increases as the degree of weight gain increases, with a high prevalence of morbid obesity. The BMI is vital. As weight increases, OSA will become worse. Weight loss will improve the severity of OSA.
If the patient has normal weight and forms OSA, there is a need to check for maxilla-mandibular malformation or adenotonsillar (mainly in children) enlarge­ment, as well as neck enlargement ( >43cm; >39cm).
In women, menopause is a risk factor, and replacement therapy may be protective.
Anatomic characteristics of the head and neck either, either hereditary or acquired, may inuence OSA (mandibular size, mandibular position, palatal height, enlarged adenoids or tonsils, etc.).
Endocrine disorders such as acromegaly or hypothyroidism are also risk factors.
Children with Down syndrome have a high prevalence of OSA as well as patients with neurologic disorders such as myotonic dystrophy.
Alcohol consumption and use of sedating drugs may worsen OSA.
However, there are no clear data if smoking is a risk factor for OSA.
Also, nasal obstruction due to rhinitis or anatomical anomalies (such as hypertro­phic rhinitis or deviated septum or valve collapse) predispose to OSA.
As demonstrated by familial clusters, OSA can be a heritable condition.
First-degree relatives of OSA patients are twice as likely to have OSA, compared to not familial affected. In addition, about one-third have hereditability obe­sity in OSA.
Genetics is essential in craniofacial morphology and ventilatory control.
However, a unique gene responsible for OSA heritability has not been demonstrated.
Studies show that the severity of OSA measured by the AHI tends to progress slowly time. Being more evident in men than women.
In middle-aged individuals, OSA is a signicant risk factor for refractory hyper­tension, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, stroke, atrial brillation bradyarrhythmia or tachyarrhythmia, and premature mortality [6].

It is an essential factor for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus, independent of obesity? [7].
OSA increases the severity of depression, reduces job performance, causes impaired familial relationships, reduces overall quality of life, and may accelerate de onset of Alzheimer disease.
Also, the risk of vehicle accidents is signicantly augmented in drivers with OSA.
OSA can occur in any age or group and increases between young adulthood and middle age, and the plateau is about age 65.
In PSG, OSA is documented by cessation of airow with ongoing respiratory efforts. Oxygen saturation lowers from 1% or 2 to 40%.
Some events associated with the increased respiratory effort, and arousal, and normal oxygen saturation, is an event dened as RERAs.
In isolated snoring, there are no apneas, hypopneas, or RERAs.
Other causes of sleepiness then OSA, should be kept in mind, such as narcolepsy, idiopathic hypersomnia, and insufcient sleep [1].
3.5 Obstructive Sleep Apnea Pediatric
Above are the criteria for pediatric OSA (Table3.3).
In children, upper airway obstruction occurs predominantly during REM sleep.
Even short obstructive apneas may be associated with severe hypoxemia because children have a lower functional residual capacity and a higher metabolic rate than adults.
Snoring is usually loud with pauses and gasps.
They may sleep in unusual positions such as seated or neck hyperextended.
Excessive daytime sleepiness may be present.
These children have developmental, behavioral, and learning issues, including attention decit, hyperactivity, moodiness, irritability, and impaired academic performance.
The prevalence in children is estimated 1–4%. Predisposing and precipitating factors are, adenotonsillar hypertrophy and obesity.
Table 3.3 Diagnosis criteria of children obstructive apnea syndromes
Criteria A and B must be met: A.The presence of one or more of the following:
1. Snoring

Craniofacial anomalies and Down syndrome, neuromuscular disease, cerebral palsy, gastroesophageal reux, mucopolysaccharidosis, cleft palate treated with pharyngeal ap, and environmental tobacco exposure, are predisposing fac­tors to OSA.
There is evidence of an increased risk in children of families with OSA, but the genetic factors are unknown.
Symptoms begin within the rst few years.
It is essential to treat early because of the behavioral and cognitive complications the may occur together with a decit of the child’s development.
PSG demonstrates obstructive and mixed apneas, hypopneas, and periods of obstructive hypoventilation, associated with desaturation and hypercapnia [1, 8].
3.6 Central Sleep Apnea Syndromes
These syndromes below described have the common criteria related in Table3.4.
The criteria to be classied as CENTRAL SLEEP APNEA SYNDROMES are the ones in Table3.5.
Table 3.4 Central sleep apnea syndromes
Central Sleep Apnea Syndromes Central apnea syndrome with Cheyne–Stokes breathing Central apnea due to a medical disorder without CSB Central sleep apnea due to medication or substance Central apnea due to high-altitude periodic breathing Primary central sleep apnea Primary sleep apnea of infancy Primary sleep apnea of prematurity Treatment-emergent central sleep apnea

3.6.1 Central Apnea Syndrome withCheyne–Stokes Breathing
This syndrome is characterized by a crescendo-decrescendo ventilation pattern associated to central apnea–hypopnea. Heart failure is the primary cause of CSA-CSB.
In association, patients have excessive daytime sleepiness, insomnia, or noctur­nal dyspnea.
It is seen in subjects older than 60years, males.
It is observed in N1 and N2, and attenuated in REM.
Predisposing factors are congestive heart failure, stroke, and renal failure.
In general, there is subtle oxyhemoglobin desaturation [9].
3.6.2 Central Apnea DuetoaMedical Disorder
It is a consequence of a medical or neurological disorder.
Most patients have brainstem lesions of developmental, vascular, neoplastic, degenerative, demyelinating, or traumatic.
Patients present with sleep fragmentation, excessive daytime sleepiness, or insomnia.
The Chiari malformation appears during infancy. Older patients can suffer from stroke [1].
3.6.3 Central Sleep Apnea DuetoaMedication or Substance
In this disorder, the patient is taking an opioid or another respiratory depressant, and there is an absence of CSB.
The use of potent long-action opioid drugs may carry central apneas during sleep, such as methadone, morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, and suboxone.
If the patients are withdrawn from these drugs, the central apnea may resolve, but the abuse can lead to death.
This appears in the non-REM sleep, mainly in N3 [10].
3.6.4 Central Sleep Apnea DuetoHigh-Altitude
Periodic Breathing
It is characterized by the criteria of CSA with history of recent ascent to high alti­tudes [7].
The clinic is comprises alternating periods of central apnea and hypopnea associ­ated with a recent ascent to high altitude, over 2500 m, accompanied by dys­pnea [11].

3.6.5 Treatment-Emergent Central Sleep Apnea
This is a new entity. The diagnostic criteria are the same as CSA, but this pathology emerges in patients treated with CPAP.
In some patients, CPAP use shows a signicant resolution of the obstructive events. It entails the emergence, or persistence of central apnea or hypopnea, with a number of central apneas or hypopneas above 50% of the total events.in a diagnostic sleep study. During treatment with CPAP, CSA persists or emerges, despite signi­cant resolution of obstructive respiratory events, and any other CSA disorder [12].
Finally, three rare clinical identities in CSA children and adults:
Primary central sleep apnea
Primary central sleep apnea of infancy
Primary central sleep apnea of prematurity
3.7 Sleep-Related Hypoventilation Disorders
The primary feature of these disorders is insufcient sleep-related ventilation, resulting in abnormally high arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) dur­ing sleep.
Awake hypoventilation is dened as an arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) 45mmHg.
The prevalence of these disorders is rare.
Hypoventilation generally results from impaired respiratory drive and CO2 and O2 chemosensitivity.
There might also be hypoventilation with hypercapnia and hypoxemia [13].
3.7.1 Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS)
It is a well-known disease. The old designation was Pickwick syndrome.
OHS is characterized by obesity and daytime hypercapnia (arterial PaCO2 > 45 mmHg), that cannot be fully attributed to an underlying cardiopulmonary or neurologic disease.
Hypercapnia worsens during sleep and is often associated with severe arterial oxygen desaturation. Hypoventilation is usually worse during REM sleep (Table3.6).
Table 3.6 Diagnosis criteria of obesity hypoventilation syndrome
Diagnostic criteria A–C must be met: A—Presence of hypoventilation during wakefulness (PaCO2 45mmHg) as measured by arterial PCO2, end-tidal PCO2, or transcutaneous PCO B—Presence of obesity (BMI >30kg/m2 in adults; for children >95th percentile) C—Hypoventilation is not primarily due to lung parenchymal or airway disease, pulmonary vascular pathology, chest wall disorder (other than mass loading from obesity), medication use, neurologic disorder, muscle weakness, or a known congenital or idiopathic central alveolar hypoventilation syndrome

https://t.me/medicina_free
Most OHS patients have comorbid OSA (80–90%).
Patients with OHS commonly complain of hypersomnolence, morning head­aches, fatigue, mood disturbance, and impairments of memory or concentration.
Physical examination may reveal cor pulmonale or circulatory congestion, such as plethora, scleral injection, and peripheral edema.
Laboratory testing commonly shows polycythemia and elevated serum CO2 on electrolyte testing ( serum bicarbonate), reduced forced vital capacity during pul­monary function testing, right heart strain, right ventricular hypertrophy and right atrial enlargement on electrocardiography and ventricular dysfunction on echocardiography.
Consequences of chronic hypercapnia and hypoxemia include pulmonary artery hypertension, cor pulmonale, and neurocognitive dysfunction.
The prevalence of OHS in populations of patients with OSA varies across studies but is often in the range of 10–15% of obese patients with OSA.
Although the prevalence of OHS is higher in men than women, the difference is not as prominent as in OSA.Obesity is believed to be the primary pathophysio­logic factor.
Central nervous system depressants, such as alcohol, anxiolytics, and hypnotics, may further worsen respiratory impairment.
The serum bicarbonate level is usually elevated due to renal compensation for chronic respiratory acidosis (hypercapnia) [14].
F. Fernandes
3.7.2 Congenital Central Alveolar Hypoventilation Syndrome
It is a syndrome of autonomic dysfunction. Primarily, there is the failure of auto­matic central control of breathing, due to a mutation of the PHOX2B gene.
It appears at birth and is rare.
It is associated with autonomic abnormalities, including Hirschsprung disease (16% of patients), autonomic dysfunction (e.g., decreased heart rate variability or hypotension), neural tumors (e.g., ganglioneuromas, swallowing dysfunction dur­ing the early years, and ocular abnormalities (e.g., strabismus) [1].
3.7.3 Late-Onset Central Hypoventilation
withHypothalamic Dysfunction
Patients are usually healthy until early childhood (often 2–3years of age); however, they develop dysphagia and severe obesity, followed by central hypoventilation, which often presents as respiratory failure.
There is hypothalamic dysfunction.
These patients often develop hypothalamic endocrine dysfunction: diabetes insipidus, inappropriate antidiuretic hormone hypersecretion, precocious puberty, hypogonadism, hyperprolactinemia, hypothyroidism, temperature dysregulation,
