More examples
  • Slow or shallow breathing
  • Hypopnea (or hypopnoea in British English) is a medical term for a disorder which involves episodes of overly shallow breathing or an abnormally low respiratory rate...
  • Decreased breathing with at least 50% reduction in air flow.
  • An episode of abnormally slow or shallow respiration during sleep that lasts longer than 10 seconds. Hypopnea differs from apnea in that some airflow is present.
  • A reduction or obstruction in nocturnal breathing for at least 10 seconds results in decrease in blood oxygen level and disrupts sleep.
  • Episode of decreased rate and depth of breathing
  • A respiratory episode where there is partial obstruction of the airway lasting greater than 10 seconds. Also called partial apnea or hypo-apnea.
  • Is a reduction of airflow lasting 10 or more seconds measured on the sleep study by a 30 percent reduction in airflow associated with a drop in oxygen level by 4 percent. Hypopneas have the same clinical significance as an apnea.
  • Shallow or excessively slow breathing usually caused by partial closure of the upper airway during sleep, leading to disruption of sleep.
