Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES: To compare changes in end-tidal CO2, genioglossus muscle activity and upper airway resistance following tone-induced arousal and the return to sleep in healthy individuals with small and large ventilatory responses to arousal. DESIGN: Observational study. SETTING: Two sleep physiology laboratories. PATIENTS OR PARTICIPANTS: 35 men and 25 women with no medical or sleep disorders. INTERVENTIONS: Auditory tones to induce 3-s to 15-s cortical arousals from sleep. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: During arousal from sleep, subjects with large ventilatory responses to arousal had higher ventilation (by analytical design) and tidal volume, and more marked reductions in the partial pressu..
