Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder
characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. Each episode,
called an apnea, lasts long enough so that one or more breaths
are missed, and such episodes occur repeatedly throughout sleep.
The standard definition of any apneic event includes a minimum
10 second interval between breaths, with either a neurological
arousal, a blood oxygen desaturation of 3-4% or greater, or both
arousal and desaturation. Sleep apnea is diagnosed with an
overnight sleep test called a polysomnogram, or a "Sleep Study".
Clinically significant levels of sleep apnea are defined as five
or more episodes per hour of any type of apnea (from the polysomnogram). There are three distinct forms of sleep apnea:
central, obstructive, and complex (i.e., a combination of
central and obstructive) constituting 0.4%, 84% and 15% of cases
respectively. Breathing is interrupted by the lack of
respiratory effort in central sleep apnea; in obstructive
sleep apnea, breathing is interrupted by a physical block to
airflow despite respiratory effort. In complex (or
"mixed") sleep apnea, there is a transition from central to
obstructive features during the events themselves.
Regardless of type, the individual with sleep apnea is rarely
aware of having difficulty breathing, even upon awakening. Sleep
apnea is recognized as a problem by others witnessing the
individual during episodes or is suspected because of its
effects on the body. Symptoms may be present for years (or even
decades) without identification, during which time the sufferer
may become conditioned to the daytime sleepiness and fatigue
associated with significant levels of sleep disturbance.
A number of manufacturers have
introduced portable oxygen concentrators. Typically,
these use some version of pulse flow or demand flow to deliver
oxygen only when the patient is inhaling. However, there are portable oxygen concentrators with up to 3 LPM of
continuous-flow oxygen. This device also has pulse flow
available to either provide higher flows or reduce power
consumption. These portable concentrators typically plug
into a wall outlet like the larger, heavier stationary
concentrators.
Portable oxygen concentrators usually can
also be plugged into a vehicle DC adapter, and most have the
ability to run from battery power as well, either for
ambulatory use or for use away from power or for airplane
travel. The FAA has approved portable oxygen concentrators
for use on commercial airlines.
Historically, demand or pulse flow
concentrators have not been used for nocturnal use—sleeping.
If the nasal cannula moves such that the concentrator is not
able to detect when the patient is inhaling, it is unable to
deliver the pulse while the patient is inhaling.
The primary pulse dose systems on the market
today are the Invacare XPO2, and Inogen One. As for portable oxygen concentrators
capable of delivering continuous flow as well as pulse dose
there are the SeQual Eclipse 3 , Invacare Solo 2 and
DeVilbiss iGo.
