Mild-Moderate Obstructive Sleep Disordered Breathing Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of High Flow Nasal Cannula (Flowrest®) on Mild-Moderate Sleep Disordered Breathing: A Non-Inferiority Study Versus Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Therapy
Order randomized crossover non-inferiority study evaluating the acute efficacy of High Flow Therapy (HFT) as compared to nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure therapy (CPAP) in the management of apnea / hypopnea index (AHI).
Study to evaluate the acute efficacy of a single night of High Flow Therapy (HFT) to treat mild-moderate predominantly obstructive Sleep Disordered Breathing, as compared to nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy. Subjects will be order-randomized to receive HFT or CPAP in the laboratory, undergo a washout period, and return for the alternative therapy in the laboratory. The hypothesis is that HFT will be non-inferior to CPAP in controlling Apnea/Hypopnea events in this subject set during this study. Primary outcome will be Apnea / Hypopnea Index (AHI) change on therapy as compared to baseline diagnostic polysomnography. ;
