This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.
The specific aims of this study are to 1) determine whether occlusion induced arousal can induce breathing instability in people with high airways resistance (snorers) and what factors are related to breathing instability post arousal; 2) To determine whether the ventilatory response to occlusion-induced arousal is larger in snorers than non-snorers; and 3) to determine whether the ventilatory response to occlusion induced arousal is different between healthy men and women. The researchers hypothesize that a) occlusion-induced arousal will induce breathing instability on return to sleep in individuals who have high airways resistance prior to arousal (snorers); b) the ventilatory response to occlusion-induced arousal will be higher in snorers than in non-snorers; and c) the ventilatory response to occlusion-induced arousal will be higher in healthy men than in women.
