| description |
Symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing, especially obstructive sleep apnea
syndrome (OSAS), are common in asthma patients and have been associated with
asthma severity. It is known that asthma symptoms tend to be more severe at
night and that asthma-related deaths are most likely to occur during the night
or early morning. Nocturnal symptoms occur in 60-74% of asthma patients and are
markers of inadequate control of the disease. Various pathophysiological
mechanisms are related to the worsening of asthma symptoms, OSAS being one of
the most important factors. In patients with asthma, OSAS should be investigated
whenever there is inadequate control of symptoms of nocturnal asthma despite the
treatment recommended by guidelines having been administered. There is evidence
in the literature that the use of continuous positive airway pressure
contributes to asthma control in asthma patients with obstructive sleep apnea
and uncontrolled asthma. |
