Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep hypoventilation and daytime hypercapnia in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
TL;DR: In stable COPD, SH as defined by the AASM was found both in normocapnic, non-LTOT subjects and in hypercapnic, LTOT-using subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does excessive dynamic airway collapse have any impact on dynamic pulmonary function tests
TL;DR: EDAC during peak pressure has negligible impact on pulmonary function tests and breathing symptoms, and the importance of the severity, length, and duration of the EDAC is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zopiclone effects on breathing at sleep in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
TL;DR: In stable COPD, zopiclone moderately increases the mean ΔPtcCO2 without changing minSpO2 at night and reduces AHI in overlap (COPD and obstructive sleep apnea) subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alcohol at bedtime induces minor changes in sleep stages and blood gases in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
TL;DR: Occasional use of a moderate, bedtime dose of alcohol has only minor respiratory depressant effects on the majority of COPD subjects, and in a minority even slightly improves respiration during sleep, and caution is appropriate as this study is small.
Journal ArticleDOI
The severity of sleep hypoventilation in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
TL;DR: Both shamSH and SH groups have extra CO 2 load during and between SH periods, indicating that the SH/shamSH patients may represent a separate group of true hypoventilators during sleep.
