Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine if a real-time magnetic resonance imaging (RT-MRI) method during continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can be used to measure neuromuscular reflex and/or passive collapsibility of the upper airway in individual obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) subjects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted experiments on four adolescents with OSA and three healthy controls, during natural sleep and during...
