International audience. An original integrated model of cardio-respiratory interactions is presented in this paper with the objective of studying the acute physiological responses evoked by obstructive sleep apnea events in adults. A comprehensive sensitivity analysis of the model is proposed during the simulation of a 20 s obstructive apnea episode using the Morris' screening method and local sensitivity analysis. The more relevant parameters are related to the following mechanisms of the physiology: (i) the fraction of oxygen in inspired air, (ii) metabolic rates (oxygen consumption rate, CO2 production rate); (iii) chemoreflex (gains and time constants) (iv) respiratory mechanics (lung compliance and unstressed volume of air in the alveoli). These results highlight significant physiological variables that may be particularly useful for the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, integrating a virtual patient approach.
