Somewhere between normal nocturnal breathing and sleep apnea exists a strange entity. This condition, often debated in terms of its mere existence is upper airway resistance syndrome, and knowing about it can be the difference between solving your sleep-related breathing woes and continuing your struggles. In this episode we will:

  • define upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS)
  • review the concept and pathophysiology of upper airway resistance
  • contrast how this disorder is defined in comparison to sleep apnea
  • learn the difference between an AHI (apnea-hypopnea index) and an RDI (respiratory disturbance index)
  • understand how different sleep studies (in-lab studies, home sleep studies/home sleep tests) might differ in their ability to diagnose the disorder
  • list the various treatments that can be applied to the diagnosis

Produced by: Maeve Winter
