A chart showing OSA effects - Part 1

Post by dsm » Mon Feb 01, 2010 9:33 pm

I have a presentation on OSA done by Shahid M. Ahsan, M.D of the Sigma Medical Group.
Below are a few of the charts in it. They are reasonably current & the info very useful.

Willing to post a link or email a copy of the presentation? The first chart is dynamite in explaining why continuing with CPAP therapy is so bloody important!

Hi y'all
I originally posted the link but thought better of it. The document is on my own website not the originators & I am becoming increasingly concerned about copyright issues. If it was a matter of a link to his site I would happily post that, but because it is on mine, there may be issues to do with usage.

I'll PM a copy to anyone who asks.

Cheers DSM

To those already requesting - you'll have it in a couple of mins

UPDATE: Thanks to Muffy the original is now available from the originator's website

While following up on one of the associated side effects (or co-morbidities) of OSA/CA I came across these two
medical papers on Chronic Hypoventilation which relates to a patient who does not clear out their blood CO2 well
enough in normal breathing.

The 1st paper discusses the problem as Hypoventilation Syndromes
(note para 6 - Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is another well-known cause of hypoventilation.)
http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/304381-overview


the second covers 'Management of Chronic Hypoventilation'
http://chestjournal.chestpubs.org/conte ... 4.full.pdf


DSM

Post 2
Have added the below link after finding it in the 1st one above - it offers
an interesting perspective on OSA in general. Certainly an opportunity to
expand ones comprehension ... The para starting with "A sleep-related
disordered breathing (SRDB) continuum has been described and is supported
by research" - is a good read ...
