Awake negative pressure reflex response of the genioglossus in OSA patients and normal subjects

Open access

Abstract

We hypothesized that the response of the genioglossus to negative pressure during wakefulness should be intact in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients despite published evidence showing impairment of the response of palatal muscles (Mortimore IL and Douglas NJ. Am J Respir Crit Care Med156: 867–873, 1997). Thus the response of the genioglossus to brief nasal negative pressure applications (NPAs) in early inspiration was compared between OSA patients and an age-matched group of normal subjects at two study sites ( n = 11 per group in Long Beach, n = 14 per group in Boston). Subjects were studied in the sitting (Long Beach) or supine (Boston) posture, and the genioglossus electromyogram (EMGgg) was measured with an intraoral surface electrode (Long Beach) or intramuscular electrode (Boston). The response of the EMGgg was expressed as the percent change from baseline where the baseline EMGgg was the value at the onset of the NPA. In Long Beach, the EMGgg response was significantly higher in the OSA patients at a lower suction pressure of ∼10 cmH 2 O (75.2 ± 8.4 vs. 37.4 ± 4.0% increase; P < 0.001) but not at a higher suction pressure of ∼20 cmH 2 O. In Boston, the response in the OSA patients was also greater (107.2 ± 25.9 vs. 46.3 ± 8.3%; P < 0.05) at a suction pressure of ∼13 cmH 2 O. We conclude that the response of the genioglossus to NPA during wakefulness is not impaired in OSA patients compared with normal subjects and is greater at low suction pressures.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • A negative pressure reflex causes strong genioglossus activation when sub-atmospheric inspiratory pressure is applied.

    “A negative pressure reflex (NPR) exists whereby a sub-atmospheric (negative inspiratory or suction) pressure leads to a robust activation of the genioglossus muscle.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
