Abstract

The article focuses on the study regarding the relationship between upper airway patency and inspiratory pump muscle force in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in the U.S. The study employed 94 patients admitted for overnight polysomnography for suspected OSA measured by apnea-hypopnea index. It was found that upper airway muscle strength is related to inspiratory pump muscle strength.
