apnea and Muscle Rigidity

apnea has been researched along with Muscle Rigidity in 7 studies

Apnea: A transient absence of spontaneous respiration.

Muscle Rigidity: Continuous involuntary sustained muscle contraction which is often a manifestation of BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES. When an affected muscle is passively stretched, the degree of resistance remains constant regardless of the rate at which the muscle is stretched. This feature helps to distinguish rigidity from MUSCLE SPASTICITY. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p73)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" However, the rapid onset of drug effect may be accompanied by rapid onset of adverse events such as apnea and muscle rigidity."4.80The role of newer opioids in geriatric anesthesia. ( Shafer, SL, 1998)
"We describe two siblings born to consanguineous Arab-Muslim parents who presented in early infancy with myoclonic seizures, hypertonia and contractures, arrested head growth, inability to swallow, and bouts of apnea-bradycardia, culminating in cardiac arrest and death."3.81Lethal neonatal rigidity and multifocal seizure syndrome--report of another family with a BRAT1 mutation. ( Basel-Vanagaite, L; Behar, DM; Ganelin-Cohen, E; Goldberg-Stern, H; Salmon-Divon, M; Smirin-Yosef, P; Straussberg, R; Tzur, S, 2015)
" For purposes of the study, an apparent life-threatening event was defined as an episode of apnea, skin color change, or change in muscle tone."3.72Apparent life-threatening events in infants: high risk in the out-of-hospital environment. ( Clements, H; Henderson, D; Lewis, RJ; McCollough, M; Stratton, SJ; Taves, A, 2004)
