Rationale Current scoring criteria of non-apneic events (ie, hypopnea) require the presence of oxyhemoglobin desaturation and/or arousal. However, other sleep study parameters may help to identify abnormal respiratory events (REs) and assist in making more accurate diagnosis. Objectives To investigate whether non-apneic REs without desaturation or cortical arousal are associated with respiratory and cardiac consequences. Methods Thirteen participants with sleep disturbances (snoring and/or excessive day time sleepiness), were screened using attended in laboratory polysomnography (PSG) while monitoring pressure and airflow via a nasal mask with an attached pneumotach. To separate the contribution of the upper airway resistance (RUA) and total pulmonary resistance (RL), supraglottic and esophageal pressures were measured using Millar pressure catheters. RL and RUA were calculated during baseline and hypopneas. RL was defined as the resistive pressure divided by the maximal flow during inspiration and expiration. Hypopnea was defined 30% decrease in flow with 3% desaturation and/or cortical arousal. REs was defined as 30% decrease in the flow without desaturation and/or cortical arousal. In eight subjects continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) was titrated to optimal pressure. R-R interval (RRI) was defined as consecutive beat-to-beat intervals on single lead electrocardiograph (ECG) during baseline, RE/hypopnea and on optimal CPAP. Results REs associated with increased expiratory RUA (14.6 ± 11.3 vs. 7.5 ± 4.5 cmH2O L-1 s-1; p < .05), and increased expiratory RL relative to baseline (29.2 ± 14.6 vs. 20.9 ± 11.0 and 23.7 ± 12.1 vs. 14.3 ± 5.6 cmH2O L-1 s-1 during inspiration and expiration, respectively; p < .05). RRI decreased significantly following RE and hypopnea relative to baseline (804.8 ± 33.1 vs. 806.4 ± 36.3 vs. 934.3 ± 45.8 ms; p < .05). Optimal CPAP decreased expiratory RUA (4.0 ± 2.5 vs. 7.5 ± 4.5 cmH2O L-1 s-1; p < .05), decreased inspiratory RL (12.6 ± 14.1 vs. 7.5 ± 4.5 cmH2O L-1 s-1; p < .05), and allowed RRI to return to baseline (p < .05). RRI dips index was an independent predictor of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) when non-apneic REs were accounted for in symptomatic patients (p < .05). Conclusions Non-apneic REs without cortical arousal or desaturation are associated with significant respiratory and heart rate changes. Optimal CPAP and the reduction of resistive load are associated with the normalization of heart rate indicating potential clinical benefit.
