Sleep related breathing disorders have been known for many years to be an important cause for daytime disability. This book supplies an overview of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for this disease. A lecture on sleep in normal subjects, patients with obstructive pulmonary diseases with special emphasis on the combination of COPD with coexisting sleep apnea by J.N. Douglas is followed by an article about pulmo nary hemodynamics in sleep apnea by J. Kriegler. J.H. Peters gives a lecture on the epidemiology of sleep related breathing disorders, and H. Rauscher presents a stepwise diagnostic procedure to sleep apnea. J.R. Stradling makes some fairly controversal statements about current treatment and goes on to describe the nasal CPAP. The book is completed by Round table discussion about current and future perspectives in sleep apnea.
