Normal and obstructive breathing physiology during sleep

ConclusionThe OC enables quantification of all breaths of a nighttime recording according to their degree of flattening. The relation of strong limited to less strong limited breaths is the same across the three study groups. The analysis of the corresponding EP to a given OC value for each study group identified the EP that is necessary to cause a given flow as the only parameter that discriminates degrees of severity of OSA.The trial registration number is DRKS00018095 from 2019 to 10-09.
