Abstract

Introduction: Fluid displacement into nuchal and peripharyngeal soft tissues while recumbent may contribute to narrowing and increased airflow resistance of the pharynx (Rph), and predispose to pharyngeal collapse in patients at risk for obstructive sleep apnea. Objectives: To determine whether displacement of fluid from the lower body to the neck will increase both neck circumference and Rph in healthy subjects. Methods: In 11 healthy, nonobese subjects, studied while awake and supine, leg fluid volume, neck circumference, and Rph were measured at baseline. Subjects were then randomized to a control period or to application of lower body positive pressure (LBPP) of 40 mm Hg via antishock trousers to displace fluid from the legs, after which they crossed over to the other arm. Baseline measurements were repeated at 1 and 5 min during the control and LBPP periods. Results: Compared with the control period, application of LBPP caused a significant reduction in leg fluid volume (p < 0.001) and a significant increase in neck circumference (p = 0.004). Rph remained stable during the control period, but increased significantly from baseline after 1 and 5 min of LBPP (from 0.43 ± 0.10 to 0.60 ± 0.11 cm H2O/L/s, p = 0.034, and to 0.87 ± 0.19 cm H2O/L/s, p < 0.001, compared with baseline, respectively). Conclusions: Fluid displacement from the legs by LBPP increases neck circumference and Rph in healthy subjects. These findings suggest the hypothesis that fluid displacement to the upper body during recumbency may predispose to pharyngeal obstruction during sleep, especially in fluid overload states, such as heart and renal failure.

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.
