Sleep and Respiration

This volume explores the metabolic process during sleep by focusing on the intricate workings of the respiratory system.

By dealing with both normal and disordered sleep-breathing patterns, it offers a perspective on the physiologic and psychomotor aspects of respiration.

Many specific cases are explored including upper airway neurophysiology, ventilatory instability during sleep, the consequences of sleep apnea, and possible treatments for sleep disordered breathing.
