ABSTRACT

In this review, we presented conclusive evidence that sleep-disordered breathing are more common during pregnancy and are associated with worse outcomes in both mother and the newborn. Through questionnaires it is possible to make a screening to identify those patients at high risk for obstructive sleep apnea, restless legs and insomnia along pregnancy period thus women can be referred for polysomnography. There is also sufficient evidence that treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) decreases maternal and fetal risks in pregnant patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Finally, CPAP treatment directly affects some causes of maternal deaths, deaths that could and should be prevented.

KEYWORDS

Respiration disorders, pregnant women, sleep wake disorders.
