The act of respiring through the open mouth so that the currents of inspired and expired air cause a vibration of the uvula and soft palate, thus giving rise to a sound more or less harsh. It is usually unvoluntary, but may be produced voluntarily.
A noise produced primarily with inspiration during sleep caused by the vibration of the soft palate and the pillars of the oropharyngeal inlet. All snorers have incomplete obstruction of the upper airway
a phenomena that occurs during sleep when the sleeper's airway is narrowed, disturbing the airflow.
Harsh breathing sounds during sleep caused by the vibration of the soft palate during inhalation.
breathing during sleep with harsh noises caused by vibration of the uvula or soft palate; "the snoring sleeper"
Hoarse, often loud breathing sound that occurs during sleep. Snoring often occurs when the soft palate in the mouth vibrates. Snoring may be a sign of sleep apnea.
Produced by the vibration of the soft tissues of the upper airway. Intensity and quality is dependent on time of night, stage of sleep, position of the body, rate of airflow through the airway, tone of airway muscles, and the anatomic structure of the nose and throat. Snoring of apnec persons can exceed 80 dB, is often miexd with snorts, gasps, choking noises, body jerks, and flailing limb movements. Term: Definition
the noise produced by a sleeping individual in which the soft palate and the uvula vibrate during respiration.
noise produced with inspiratory respiration during sleep owing to vibration of the soft palate and the pillars of the oropharyngeal inlet. Forty-five percent of normal adults snore at least occasionally, and 25 percent are habitual snorers. Problem snoring is more frequent in males and overweight persons, and it usually grows worse with age. Problem snorers may develop obstructive sleep apnea.
The hoarse sound of breathing during sleep that occurs when the soft palate vibrates. Excessive snoring may indicate obstructive sleep apnea.
A noise produced primarily with inspiratory respiration during sleep due to vibration of the soft palate and the pillars of the oropharyngeal inlet. All snorers have incomplete obstruction of the upper airway, and many habitual snorers have complete episodes of upper airway obstruction.
A rough rattling noise made on inspiration during sleep by vibration of the soft palate (the back of the roof of the mouth) and the uvula (the prominent structure dangling down at the back of the mouth). See the entire definition of Snoring
A noise produced primarily with inspiratory respiration during sleep owing to vibration of the soft palate and the pillars of the oropharyngeal inlet. Many snorers have incomplete obstruction of the upper airway, and may in time develop frank obstructive sleep apnea.
The noise resulting from vibration in the upper airway; anywhere from the back of the nose down to the voice box. Often involves the palate.
Snoring is noisy breathing during sleep. Snoring occurs when air flows past relaxed tissues in your throat, causing the tissues to vibrate as you breathe, creating hoarse or harsh sounds. While you sleep, the muscles of your throat relax, your tongue falls backward, and your throat becomes narrow and "floppy."
Sounds made during sleep caused by breathing vibrations in the pharynx. In the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea, snoring volume and frequency of occurrence often correlate with the severity of the condition. Snoring noise is recorded in both diagnostic sleep studies and CPAP titration studies.
Snoring is the act of breathing through the open mouth in such a way as to cause a vibration of the uvula and soft palate, thus giving rise to a sound which may vary from a soft noise to a loud unpleasant sound. This most commonly occurs during sleep.
