Abstract | Hypobaric hypoxia in regions of high altitude may increase the risk of having sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). SDB at high altitude mainly refers to the SDB incurred in highlanders and lowlanders at a high altitude. At present, research on SDB at high altitude is mainly focused on these two groups of people. On the one hand, highlanders have SDB at a higher prevalence and greater severity than lowlanders do and highlanders have a prolonged duration of apnea when they travel to low-altitude regions. On the other hand, the severity of SDB increased in lowlanders when they travel to high altitude, represented mainly by an increase in central and hypopnea events. In terms of treatment, a substantial number of studies have shown that medication, including acetazolamide and dexamethasone, and nocturnal oxygen supplementation could improve SDB in lowlanders when they travel to high altitude. However, not much research has been done on the treatment of SDB in highlanders and it has only been reported that nocturnal oxygen supplementation was an available treatment option. Herein, we summarized the latest research findings on SDB at high altitude, providing the basis for further studies about the characteristics and treatments for highlanders with SDB. |
