diazepam and Sleep Apnea Syndromes

diazepam has been researched along with Sleep Apnea Syndromes in 6 studies

Diazepam: A benzodiazepine with anticonvulsant, anxiolytic, sedative, muscle relaxant, and amnesic properties and a long duration of action. Its actions are mediated by enhancement of GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID activity.
diazepam : A 1,4-benzodiazepinone that is 1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one substituted by a chloro group at position 7, a methyl group at position 1 and a phenyl group at position 5.

Sleep Apnea Syndromes: Disorders characterized by multiple cessations of respirations during sleep that induce partial arousals and interfere with the maintenance of sleep. Sleep apnea syndromes are divided into central (see SLEEP APNEA, CENTRAL), obstructive (see SLEEP APNEA, OBSTRUCTIVE), and mixed central-obstructive types.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Twenty two patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome were examined by nocturnal polysomnography (n-PSG), and the obstructive sites in the upper airway were observed by nasendoscopic diurnal polysomnography using diazepam (n-d-PSGD)."1.29[Diurnal sleep study for sleep related breathing disorders--the utility of nasendoscopic diurnal polysomnography using diazepam].
