Abstract
An abnormal level of respiratory efforts, indicated by significant inc rease in peak negative esophageal pressure (Pes), can be associated wi th daytime somnolence in snoring pre-menopausal women. No drop in oxyg en saturation (SaO(2)) or visual evidence of transient electroencephal ographic (EEG) arousals can be found at repeat polysomnography. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) titrated on Pes measurement s eliminates somnolence.
