zolpidem has been researched along with Apnea, Sleep in 7 studies

Zolpidem: An imidazopyridine derivative and short-acting GABA-A receptor agonist that is used for the treatment of INSOMNIA.
zolpidem : An imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine compound having a 4-tolyl group at the 2-position, an N,N-dimethylcarbamoylmethyl group at the 3-position and a methyl substituent at the 6-position.

Trial Outcomes

CO2 Reserve

CO2 reserve is the requisite change to induce central apnea is referred to as the CO2 reserve, which can be positive or negative. CO2 reserve is defined as the difference between the eupneic end-tidal CO2 pressure and the end-tidal CO2 pressure induced by the ventilation protocol that is sufficient to trigger a central apnea as defined by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. (NCT04720547)
Timeframe: one night

InterventionmmHg (Mean)
Zolpidem-0.63
No Treatment-0.44

Controller Gain

Controller gain is a ventilatory response to changes in end-tidal PCO2. Controller gain was calculated by dividing the difference in minute ventilation between the post-mechanical ventilation induced by the ventilation protocol and steady-state respiration by the difference in the end-tidal CO2 pressure between the mechanical ventilation and steady-state respiration. (NCT04720547)
Timeframe: one night

InterventionL/min*mmHg (Mean)
Zolpidem2.39
No Treatment3.95

Respiratory Arousal Index

A measure of the frequency of respiratory-related arousals during sleep (NCT04720547)
Timeframe: one night

Interventionevents per hour (Mean)
Zolpidem23.3
No Treatment39.7

Respiratory Arousal Threshold

The nadir pressure in the upper airway (supra-glottic pressure) prior to the occurrence of an arousal (NCT04720547)
Timeframe: one night

InterventioncmH2O (Mean)
Zolpidem-8.72
No Treatment-8.25

Stead-State Plant Gain (mmHg

"Plant gain is a blood gas response to a change in ventilation. This measure represents the effectiveness of the plant in eliminating CO2. Steady-state plant gain was calculated from the ratio of end-tidal CO2 to minute ventilation during stable respiration." (NCT04720547)
Timeframe: one night

InterventionmmHg*L/min (Mean)
Zolpidem4.78
No Treatment5.27

The Central Apnea-hypopnea Index

The number of central apneas and hypopneas per hour of sleep was obtained from polysomnography studies. (NCT04720547)
Timeframe: one night

Interventionevents per hour (Mean)
Zolpidem14.1
No Treatment29.9
