Polysomnography (PSG) has some disadvantages, such as time-consuming, effort-consuming, long appointment time and high cost. During PSG examination, multiple sensors need to be placed in the patient's head, face, neck, chest and limbs, and sensors are needed to monitor data throughout the night. It is difficult for young children to cooperate, and it is easy to fail due to inaccurate sensor signal acquisition. PSG examination may miss diagnosis or underestimate the disease due to the first night effect. Based on the above reasons, the application of PSG in clinic, especially in pediatric patients is limited. The reflective optical path detection can be used to measure the peripheral blood oxygen saturation in the flat part of human skin. The investigators intend to use a reflectance pulse oximeterto evaluate its reliability and validity in the diagnosis of OSA in children at the same time as PSG.
Multi-center, open-label, prospective, randomized clinical trial of the aura6000(R) System for the reduction of apnea and hypopneas in adult patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who have failed or are unwilling to use positive airway pressure treatment.
This study is aimed at patients who do not achieve a minimum (≥4 hours/night) or optimal (≥5,5 hours/night) use of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) treatment and it is proposed to improve their adherence making a 4-weeks intervention using telemedicine tools: CPAP remote monitoring, a mobile application (app) and a voicemail. The concept of this work is to "recover" patients to minimum or optimal CPAP use.
It has been shown to date that obesity is associated with increased mortality and that weight loss significantly improves cardiovascular risk factors. Among patients receiving bariatric surgery, 30-90% have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome. Given the strong associations between OSA and cardiometabolic comorbidities, this project is based on the hypothesis of a lower improvement of cardiovascular risk factors and a higher number of post-surgical complications in OSAS patients.
