Nightly hypoxia does not seem to lead to otolith dysfunction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea

ENT Journal May 02, 2020

Birk R, Dietz M, Sommer JU, et al. - Researchers conducted this prospective study to evaluate a potential vestibulotoxic impact of nightly desaturations with hypoxia in individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by examining a possible association between respiratory parameters and vestibular function tests. This investigation was carried out at a tertiary referral center and approved by the local ethics committee (2015-626N-MA). In total, 56 individuals were involved in the study and had a fully attended cardiorespiratory polysomnography. No significant association was found between vestibular function and sleep apnea parameters, although otolith dysfunction may be more prevalent in patients with OSA and hypertension.
