Filter by:The role of drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) in the management of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is not precisely defined for children. The primary objective of this study was to describe the consequences of DISE in the therapeutic management for children with OSAHS. The secondary objectives were to analyze the correlation between the number of obstructive sites found during DISE, the value of apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), and the type of OSAHS.
This is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, repeat-dose, parallel arm, outpatient and inpatient phase 2 clinical study to examine the efficacy and safety of three dose levels of AD036 versus placebo in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard to normalize breathing during sleep in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrom (OSA). Many patients will not tolerate or will not accept CPAP. Implanted nerve stimulation is a novel therapy for OSA patients that restores the upper airway potency using unilateral XII nerve electric stimulation. The principal objective of this study is short-term efficacy of a new treatment for OSA on blood pressure variability during sleep.
Suspension laryngoscopy is realised during apnea. In effect, surgeons are in the mouth of the patient and we can't have access at the aiways. So investigators like to use a Transnasal Humidified Rapid-Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange (THRIVE) to increase time of apnea and decrease the impact of oxygen desaturation.
This study compare the efficacy of high flow nasal cannula with nasal continuous positive airway pressure. All of participants will be randomized to receive one night high flow nasal cannula therapy and another night for nasal continuous positive airway pressure.
The aim of the study is to assess the effect of adenotonsillectomy on level of asthma control in preschool children with obstructive sleep apnea.
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate people who have moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and have been newly prescribed a Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) machine. Patients with suboptimal adherence, defined by the Center of Medicare and Medicaid criteria (<70 % usage and <4 hours of average daily PAP usage) will be identified. The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of the sleep apnea management (SAM) grouped based-intervention on positive airway pressure adherence and patient report outcomes questionnaires (quality of life, daytime sleepiness and depressive symptoms) and PAP barrier questionnaire compared to a patient group managed by regular non-sleep prescribing provider.
The investigators hypothesize that sub-mental ultrasonography measures are strongly correlated with the severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome and the related specific subjective scales.
Background Cardiorespiratory arrest (CRA) is a health emergency with high mortality. Mortality could depends on the start time of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) maneuvers (and the quality of its performance) and the use of the automated external defibrillator (AED). Methods / design The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of a network of volunteers automatically activated by smartwatch and smartphone, on the reduction of the start time of cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers. It is developed in four phases: 1) validation of an application (App) for smartwatch developed to automatically generate a health alert in case of out-of-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest (OHCA); 2) training course in basic CPR maneuvers and use of the AED aimed at the civilian population; 3) creation of a network of volunteers trained in CPR and using the AED that covers the city; 4) simulation study in which members of the network of volunteers will be activated automatically through their smartphone to attend simulated OHCA. 134 activations of the alert will be made. On 67 occasions the alert will be directed to the emergency health services and to the network of volunteers (intervention group). On 67 occasions the alert will be directed to the emergency health services (control group). The arrival time of the first rescuer, category of the first rescuer (emergency services or network of volunteers), start time of the maneuvers and competence in the performance of the maneuvers will be recorded. Discussion Training in CPR maneuvers is recommended for the civilian population and especially for relatives and close persons of people with heart disease to reduce the start time of CPR and improve survival rates due to CRA. This study aims to observe that the start time of CPR maneuvers and use of the AED will be lower in the intervention group than in the control group.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential improvement of sleep quality in children who have residual obstructive sleep apnea, using either an orthodontic intervention or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), versus no treatment.
