Abstract
El síndrome de apnea obstructiva del sueño se describió hace casi 3 décadas; pero sólo hace poco ha tomado creciente interés, por eso hacemos esta revisión sobre el estado actual relacionado con la epidemiología, fisiopatología, diagnóstico y tratamiento. La hipersomnolencia que presentan los pacientes con el síndrome ocasiona accidentes de tránsito y laboral, por lo que es considerable el costo para la sociedad. Además, causa complicaciones cardiovasculares y hay que considerar su prevalencia que es de 2-4 %. El mecanismo fundamental causante del trastorno es el fallo de la dilatación tónica de los músculos faríngeos durante el sueño, aunque hay factores contribuyentes. Se describen las características físicas y la sintomatología diurna y nocturna que permiten hacer el diagnóstico presuntivos, así como los resultados de la polisomnografía nocturna que es la que permite hacer el diagnóstico definitivo. Se exponen los 3 tipos de tratamiento usados
The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome was described almost 3 decades ago, but on increasing interest has recently arisen that led us to review its present state as regards epidemiology, physiopathogy, diagnosis and treatment. The hypersomnolence presented by patients with this syndrome caused traffic and working accidents with a considerable cost for society. It also produces cardiovascular complications and its prevalence of 2.4 % should be considered. The fundamental mechanism causing the disorder is the failure of the tonic dilatation of the pharyngeal muscles during sleep, although there are other contributing factors. The physical characteristics and the day night symptomatology are described, allowing to have a presumptive diagnosis. The results of the polysomnography are also explained and make possible to have the definitive diagnosis. The 3 types of treatment used are shown.
