Filter by:The aim of this randomized control study is to evaluate the effect of tonsillectomy with or without uvulopalatoplasty in treating adults with moderate to severe sleep apnea.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether modafinil use in patients with obstructive sleep apnea will improve postoperative delayed emergence after general anesthesia.
This is a pilot study to investigate the efficacy and safety of the Negative Pressure Sleep Therapy System for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
A prospective open-label, single treatment study to assess the safety and the performance of the Nyxoah SAT system for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Adenotonsillectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in the pediatric population in the United States. It is generally a well-tolerated procedure with post-operative bleeding risk ranging from 3-5% in children. Post-operative pain following adenotonsillectomy has significant morbidity and may result in prolonged hospital stay or re-admission to the hospital. Post-operative analgesia is most commonly managed with narcotic-containing pain medication. In recent years however, there is evidence that some patients may manifest increased sensitivity to narcotics, resulting in life-threatening respiratory compromise. Though there is a theoretical risk that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) increase bleeding time by disrupting platelet aggregation, evidence of detrimental effects (i.e. increased risk of postoperative bleeding) remains inconclusive for these generally well-tolerated medications. The goal of this study is to determine the incidence of post-operative bleeding and to determine the efficacy of NSAIDs in the management of post-operative pain following pediatric adenotonsillectomy, versus more commonly used narcotic pain medication. The study design will be an initial retrospective study to collect pilot data on the incidence of postoperative hemorrhage and indicators of adequate/inadequate pain control in children age 4 to 17 undergoing adenotonsillectomy. This will be followed by a prospective, randomized, single-blind controlled study in which orally-administered ibuprofen (test intervention) is compared to acetaminophen-hydrocodone (control intervention) in the postoperative period following adenotonsillectomy.
This study intends to determine whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can reduce arterial stiffness (measured by pulse wave velocity) in nonsleepy as well as in sleepy patients with obstructive sleep apnea .
The purpose of this post-market observational study is to assess the effectiveness and patient perception of benefit of the ReVENT Sleep Apnea System in patients diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea due to primary tongue base closure. The ReVENT Sleep Apnea System is a minimally invasive surgical approach to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The ReVENT Sleep Apnea System consists of an implanter kit and tongue implants. The implants are permanently implanted in the tongue during a minimally invasive outpatient surgical procedure to prevent tongue base closure during sleep.
The investigators aim to investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on the perioperative respiratory complications in this patient population undergoing both awake and deep tracheal extubation.
The purpose of this study is to compare cardiovascular physiological adaptation to intermittent hypoxia (IH) of nonobese healthy subjects. The exposure will be two periods of two weeks (IH versus exposure "placebo hypoxia"). The investigators will use pharmacological tools, peripheral vasodilator (amlodipine) or specific blocker of angiotensin receptor (valsartan) versus the taking of a placebo. The allocation of the tool and the exhibition will be randomized (HI / placebo, valsartan / amlodipine). The outcome measures evaluated concern the cardiovascular system, systemic inflammation and tissular and glucose metabolism. The investigators assume an increase in arterial resistance during the intermittent hypoxia compared to the control group, these being dependent on sympathetic tone. The investigators hypothesize that the metabolic alterations that will be observed after experimental simulation (IH and fragmentation of sleep for 15 consecutive nights) will be less severe in the valsartan group than in the amlodipine group in comparison with the placebo group. A serum bank and a gene bank will be performed for the requirements of subsequent studies if necessary.
This is a randomized clinical trial in U.S. Veterans to evaluate the impact of treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on the effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation, including impact on exercise capacity, disability, and quality of life.
