General Introduction
Sleep can present a signicant challenge to respiration in people with respiratory or ventilatory control disorders. The normal physiological changes in breathing asso­ciated with sleep may be exaggerated in these populations, resulting in sleep disrup­tion and hypoventilation. Sleep-related hypoventilation is most commonly seen in patients with morbid obesity, neuromuscular disorders (NMD) or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Failure to recognize and treat sleep hypoventilation leads to eventual daytime hypercapnia and premature mortality. However, signs and symptoms suggestive of sleep hypoventilation are often non­specic and vague, and so the condition may be overlooked or misdiagnosed pre­venting timely and appropriate intervention. In this chapter, the general mechanisms relevant to the development of sleep hypoventilation will be reviewed as well as issues specic to the major diagnostic groups likely to present with sleep hypoventilation.

Normal Sleep Breathing
When an individual goes from awake to sleep, a number of physiological changes occur within the respiratory system. These include a reduction in respiratory centre output to the upper airway and respiratory muscles, along with reduced chemorecep­tor responsiveness to oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2). As a consequence, upper airway resistance increases, lung volumes decrease and respiration can become more variable and shallower, resulting in a small fall in minute ventilation of around 10–15% along with rises in CO is also lower by around 2%. During rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, inhibition of postural muscles including the intercostal and accessory respiratory muscles leaves the diaphragm to maintain ventilation [1, 3]. Chemosensitivity to both O2 and CO2 is further reduced in this sleep stage [4]. These changes in ventilation and gas exchange are relatively minor and of little clinical consequence. However, when overlaid on pre-existing pulmonary or neuromuscular pathology, signicant reductions in venti­lation and abnormalities in gas exchange can occur [3]. These reductions are gener­ally related to falls in tidal volume, and hence alveolar ventilation, and most marked in REM sleep [3] (Fig.9.1). However, over time with ongoing attenuation of ventila­tory responsiveness to chemostimulation, extension of hypoventilation into non­REM (NREM) and wakefulness eventually occurs. In addition, the reduction in lung volumes [5] and reduced activation of the upper airway muscles with the onset of sleep can produce ow limitation and upper airway collapse, resulting in an added challenge to breathing during sleep in some at risk populations.

Compensatory Mechanisms inHypoventilation Syndromes
A number of defensive or compensatory mechanisms can be brought into play to minimize disturbance of gas exchange during sleep in those experiencing sleep hypoventilation. The most obvious of these is arousal from sleep in the face of sig­nicant changes in gas exchange. Through arousal, albeit brief, ventilation can be restored at least to some extent, limiting the degree of oxygen saturation fall and carbon dioxide accumulation. However, frequent arousal from sleep will impair sleep quality, producing daytime symptoms, and if persistent will contribute to attenuated chemosensitivity [6]. In addition, hypoxia impairs the arousal response to compromised ventilation [7]. In an ongoing cycle, longer periods of abnormal gas exchange occur before arousal produces some, although incomplete, restoration of ventilation with consequent higher levels of CO2 and lower levels of oxygen. This further impairs ventilatory responsiveness to changes in gas exchange, eventually seeing the development of hypoventilation throughout the sleep period and eventu­ally wakefulness [8].

As shown in the top panel, this fall in ventilation and oxygen saturation is primarily driven by a reduction in tidal volume (V (Reprinted with permission of the American Thoracic Society.

Since the physiological changes occurring during sleep make breathing most vulnerable during the REM period, a reduction or absence of this sleep stage mini­mizes the likelihood of signicant abnormalities in gas exchange occurring. However, this also produces sleep disruption and has been shown to be associated with poorer outcomes in some conditions [9].
Recruitment of accessory respiratory muscles such as the sternomastoid and sca­lene during inspiration and the abdominal muscle during expiration occurs in some patients with diaphragmatic dysfunction during wakefulness and NREM sleep. This is thought to be an adaptive mechanism to maintain ventilation particularly in NREM sleep in response to reduced neural drive [10]. With the normal loss of pos­tural muscle tone during REM, accessory respiratory muscles are no longer able to contribute to maintaining ventilation, resulting in deterioration in gas exchange [11,
12]. In some patients however, persistence of extradiaphragmatic muscle activity
during REM occurs [9, 13, 14]. In a group of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and diaphragmatic dysfunction, those in whom sternomastoid activity continued in REM sleep not only maintained this sleep stage for longer but survival was also better compared to those individuals not exhibiting this behaviour [9]. More recently, persistence of neck muscle activity during sleep was evaluated in a group of severe COPD patients recovering from an exacerbation [14]. While no patient showed neck muscle activity while awake, 26 of the 29 studied demon­strated inspiratory neck muscle activity during sleep. In 17 patients, this occurred in Stage 3 sleep only while in 9, there was persistence of activity throughout sleep. Compared to those showing no or intermittent sleep neck muscle activity, patients where the neck muscles were activated throughout sleep experienced greater sleep disruption, more exacerbations in the year prior to the study and were more likely to be re-hospitalized over the next 6months with an exacerbation. However, there was no difference between groups in awake PaCO2 or nocturnal hypoventilation/ hypoxemia.
Irrespective of the primary underlying disorder, those with sleep hypoventila­tion exhibit a reduced responsiveness to CO
. In response to abnormally low
2
breathing during sleep, CO2 rises transiently. If there is insufcient restorative ventilation between these abnormal breathing periods, CO2 accumulates. In order to maintain pH levels, renal compensation with retention of bicarbonate occurs. However, these elevated blood bicarbonate levels blunt ventilatory responsive­ness to CO2 [15], contributing to further progression of respiratory failure. In obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS), patients with a lower ventilatory response to CO2 spent a greater percentage of REM sleep in hypoventilation [16] (Fig. 9.2). Studies investigating how nocturnal non-invasive ventilation (NIV) achieves improved awake gas exchange in chronic hypoventilation found that an increase in ventilatory responsiveness to CO2 was the main mechanism in patients with restrictive thoracic disorders [17], and played a signicant role along with reduced gas trapping in those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [18].

Identifying andDening Sleep Hypoventilation
Traditionally, arterial blood gas measurements have been performed to detect raised CO2, which is the hallmark of hypoventilation. However, repeated arterial punctures or the insertion of an arterial line to monitor CO2 during sleep is not practical or appropriate to identify sleep hypoventilation. Furthermore, the development of awake hypercapnic respiratory failure is considered to be a late manifestation of sleep hypoventilation, particularly in those with neuromuscular or chest wall disor­ders. Consequently, clinicians have sought simpler, less invasive methods of identi­fying sleep hypoventilation before awake hypercapnia is present to prevent acute respiratory decompensation.
Daytime Measures toIdentify Sleep Hypoventilation
Patients with sleep hypoventilation may complain of an array of symptoms, related to both sleep and daytime function (Table9.1). However, symptoms alone are not a good guide in identifying possible sleep hypoventilation due to their vague and non­specic nature. Additionally, some individuals will not even be aware they are expe­riencing symptoms until effective therapy has been established. In other cases, reported symptoms may be erroneously attributed to the underlying disorder and further investigation of potential sleep breathing problems overlooked.
In neuromuscular disorders (NMD), a number of simple clinic tests have been used to identify those most at risk of sleep hypoventilation. The most widely used measure is VC, with a previous study in a mixed group of muscular dystrophies and myopathies nding a VC <40% of predicted identied those likely to have continuous hypoventilation while daytime respiratory failure was likely to been seen with a VC <25% of predicted [19]. Supine VC improves the predictive value of this measure

[19], with a fall from the upright position >20% suggestive of diaphragm weakness [20] and therefore a higher suspicion of sleep hypoventilation. In ALS, VC is widely used as a predictor of survival and an indicator to commence nocturnal NIV [21], but has limited predictive power in identifying sleep hypoventilation. For instance, in a study of 250 patients with ALS, Boentert etal. [22] found that a third of those with an upright VC >75% of predicted showed sleep hypoventilation while, in contrast, almost half of those with a VC <in 50% predicted, no nocturnal hypoventilation was seen. Other simple measures of inspiratory muscle strength used in conjunction with VC measures are maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP). This latter measurement is particularly useful in patients with facial muscle weakness who nd it difcult to maintain a lip seal around a mouthpiece [23]. Nocturnal hypoventilation is unlikely to occur until MIP is <40cmH2O [19], but this test may give falsely low values in some patients due to leak around the mouthpiece or from an inability to sustain a maximal inspiratory effort [24]. In ALS patients, a SNIP <40 cmH2O correlates well with nocturnal hypoxia [23]. Although there is a good correlation between MIP and SNIP in NMD, these tests are not interchangeable and whenever possible should be performed concurrently [25].
Measures of daytime pulmonary function have not been shown to be sufciently sensitive to predict hypoventilation in OHS or COPD.In patients presenting with obesity and potential sleep disordered breathing, the goal is to identify those in whom an arterial blood gas should be taken in order to conrm a diagnosis of OHS.In this population, oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry (SpO
) rather than
2
spirometric measures is generally used as a screening tool to identify those at risk for awake hypercapnia. Chung etal. [26] showed an awake supine SpO2 <91% had a 34.8% sensitivity and 96.6% specicity for detecting daytime hypercapnia in a group of super-obese individuals (body mass index [BMI] >50kg/m2) presenting to a sleep laboratory. In another study, a combination of clinic SpO2 and FVC was found to be highly sensitive in detecting awake hypercapnia in obese individuals with an abnormal nocturnal oximetry, although specicity was low [27]. Only one study has sought to identify obesity-related sleep hypoventilation, a potential early stage of OHS [28, 29]. In a group of morbidly obese patients (BMI>40kg/m

), an
awake SpO2 measured in the supine position of ≤93% was found to predict sleep

hypoventilation with a sensitivity of 39% and specicity of 98% [30]. However, recent guidelines on evaluating and managing OHS suggest that SpO2 during wake­fulness should not be used to screen for OHS in obese patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) due to insufcient data [31]. Although patients with low awake PaO2 or SpO2 are more likely to desaturate at night [32], this is not necessarily related to hypoventilation alone, and overall daytime awake pulmonary function values do not correlate well with nocturnal desaturation [33].
Elevated levels of bicarbonate or base excess measured by venous or arterial bloods can be useful to suggest or screen out sleep hypoventilation. Base excess >3mmol/L has been reported to be a signicant predictor of sleep hypoventilation in ALS [22] and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) [34], although with only moderate sensitivity. In obese individuals with OSA, a serum bicarbonate <27 mmol/L makes the diagnosis of OHS very unlikely [31]. However, caution needs to be exercised when interpreting bicarbonate levels, as these can be inu­enced by factors other than a raised CO2 [35].
Nocturnal Monitoring toIdentify Sleep Hypoventilation
While awake testing in some populations can raise the suspicion of sleep hypoven­tilation, as discussed previously these measures remain limited in their ability to predict sleep hypoventilation and detect its severity. Consequently, more direct monitoring of gas exchange during sleep is needed to identify sleep hypoventilation at an earlier stage.
Nocturnal oximetry has been widely used as a potential surrogate for detecting sleep disordered breathing and hypoxemia. Although cyclical episodes of desatu­ration–resaturation may be suggestive of obstructive breathing, it does not reveal anything about CO2 levels. Even if sustained hypoxemia is present, this cannot be used as evidence for hypoventilation, as this pattern can also occur with ventila­tion–perfusion mismatching. Furthermore, oximetry can miss sleep hypoventila­tion in around a third of individuals with NMD [22], and is not informative in those using supplemental oxygen. Adding a morning blood gas to nocturnal oxim­etry may still miss the presence of nocturnal hypoventilation in 20–30% of patients with neuromuscular disorders [22, 36]. Despite some technical limitations, trans­cutaneous carbon dioxide (TcCO tilation across a range of respiratory disorders [37], with monitoring able to be performed both within sleep laboratories and in patient homes [38]. While advances in technology have signicantly improved the relationship between PaCO2 and TcCO2 (Fig.9.3), there may be an overestimation of CO2 over time due to signal drift [40]. However, correction for this drift considerably improves the reliability of the measurement [39]. The addition of polygraphy and polysomnog­raphy to the assessment of patients with potential sleep hypoventilation provides additional information about the nature of the respiratory events, or in the case of polysomnography, sleep quality and duration. However, limited access, wait times,

cost and a lack of facilities to properly care for individuals with signicant physi­cal impediments in sleep laboratories often mean that more limited nocturnal mon­itoring is undertaken.
One of the difculties in comparing studies of sleep hypoventilation has been the various denitions that have been employed to describe this phenomenon. Ogna and colleagues [41] compared the prevalence of hypoventilation in an unselected adult NMD population according to eight different denitions commonly found in the literature. Depending on the denition used, hypoventilation ranged from 10% to 61%, even when only denitions around TcCO2 were used (Fig. 9.4). The most widely recognized denition at present is that proposed by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine [37] which suggests “an increase in the arterial PaCO2 (or sur­rogate) to a value > 55mmHg for ≥ 10minutes, or a ≥ 10mmHg increase in PaCO2 (or surrogate) during sleep (in comparison to an awake supine value) to a value exceeding 50 mmHg for ≥ 10 minutes.” However, these thresholds are based on expert consensus and may be less sensitive than other denitions in identifying patients with NMD and daytime normocapnia likely to require ventilatory support

Disease-Specic Issues inSleep Hypoventilation
Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is diagnosed in obese individuals (BMI>30kg/m2) who present with awake hypercapnia (PaCO2>45mmHg) when other known causes of hypoventilation such as lung or neuromuscular disease can­not be identied. Obstructive sleep apnoea is present in 90% of these individuals, with 70% showing an apnoea hypopnea index ≥30/hour [45]. In the remaining 10% hypoventilation alone is seen, particularly marked during REM sleep. The preva­lence of OHS varies depending on the clinical setting these individuals are seen in and the BMI of the population. Current estimates put the prevalence of OHS in the general community at around 0.3%, [46] with the likelihood of OHS increasing with BMI.In obese patients referred to sleep clinics, 10–20% will have OHS [47, 48].
