Sleep Apnea

Alex Baker produces an expert cover illustration for Contemporary OBGYN Magazine.

The artwork showing the ventilation and respiratory parts of the throat is for a piece on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in pregnancy. The condition involves repetitive partial or complete pharyngeal collapse while sleeping,  Alex explains, "It can cause patients to wake up repeatedly during the night leading to sleep fragmentation and excessive daytime sleepiness. Risk factors for OSA include obesity and older age." See the magazine here.
