Abstrakt

The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) affects 27.5% of all pregnant women in the third trimester and shows an association with pre-eclampsia. In a systematic Medline research, up to July 2016, 198 publications treated this topic. In many of these studies the connections between pregnancy-induced hypertension, pre-eclampsia and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome have been confirmed. Further studies are needed to investigate the effects of OSA on pregnancy and to initiate appropriate treatments.
