Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep respiratory disorder characterized by an intermittent complete or partial collapse of the upper airways, resulting in apnea and hypopnea events. Breathing pauses cause acute adverse effects including oxyhemoglobin desaturation, changes in blood pressure and heart rate, increased sympathetic activity, cortical arousals (micro awakenings) and sleep fragmentation.
