【 摘 要 】

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-related breathing disorder that is characterised by obstructive apneas, hypopneas and respiratory effort-related arousals caused by repetitive collapse of the upper airway during sleep. Most pauses in breathing last between 10 and 30 seconds, but some may persist longer.
