	Hypoventilation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In medicine, hypoventilation (also known as "respiratory depression") occurs when ventilation is inadequate (hypo means "below") to perform needed gas exchange.
		Hypoventilation may be dangerous for those with sleep apnea.
		A disorder referred to as "Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome" or "CCHS" is recognized.

	Hypoventilation
		In medicine, hypoventilation exists when ventilation is inadequate (hypo) to perform gas exchange.
		As a side effect of drugs, hypoventilation may become potentially life-threatening for recreational drug users.
		Heroin is notorious for this effect: in an overdose, an individual may cease breathing (respiratory arrest).

	Oxygen is NOT for Hypoventilation in Neuromuscular Disease
		If progressive respiratory failure occurs in people with neuromuscular disease, an abnormal nocturnal oximetry study is often an early indication that hypoventilation is occurring.
		Administering oxygen does not provide assistance to the weakening respiratory muscles, but gives both the patient and the doctor the false impression that appropriate treatment is being provided.
		Instead, with hypoventilation, CO accumulates and thus there is decreased room in the alveoli for oxygen.

		Because hypoventilation usually first occurs during sleep and because several of the signs and symptoms overlap, it can be misdiagnosed as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
		The treatment for hypoventilation is NOT oxygen but assisted ventilation, generally at night, with a bilevel ventilator.
		Bilevel units that offer the S/T mode (the unit operates in a spontaneous –S– mode, meaning the user can spontaneously initiate each ventilator breath, but switches to a timed –T– mode, referred to as the backup rate, when breaths are not initiated by the individual) are recommended for people with neuromuscular disorders.

	Central Hypoventilation Syndrome, Congenital
		Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome is a rare neurological disorder of infancy and childhood characterized by malfunction of the central regulation of breathing during sleep, resulting in a generalized decrease in respiratory function.
		Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome is a rare disorder that affects males and females in equal numbers.
		When Central Hypoventilation Syndrome occurs in adults it may be confused with other more common respiratory diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease which is characterized by difficulty breathing (dyspnea), coughing, and bronchitis.

	Central Hypoventilation Syndrome, Congenital
		It is possible that the main title of the report Central Hypoventilation Syndrome, Congenital is not the name you expected.
		Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a rare neurological disorder present at birth that is characterized by inadequate breathing during sleep and, in more severely affected individuals, also during waking periods.
		This disorder is associated with a malfunction of the nerves that control involuntary body functions (autonomic nervous system) and abnormal development of early embryonic cells that form the spinal cord (neural crest).

	Hypoventilation and SIDS
		It may well turn out that SIDS is somehow related to inadequate breathing during sleep, in which case calling it a hypoventilation syndrome may be accurate.
		In addition, it would be an error to prematurely call SIDS a hypoventilation syndrome, because it might narrow the research focus.
		Therefore, it is best not to assume information we are not sure of, and to keep SIDS "open" as a mystery in hopes of attracting the best research minds form all disciplines to help us find the answer.

		Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) has been linked to autonomic nervous system dysfunction and/or dysregulation since it was first described in 1970.
		Classic CCHS is characterized by adequate ventilation while the child is awake and by hypoventilation with normal respiratory rates and shallow breathing during sleep; more severely affected children hypoventilate when both awake and asleep.
