Filter by:Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a rare disorder of autonomic and respiratory regulation that frequently alters oxygen delivery to the brain. In CCHS, neurocognitive function has been of great concern because of the potential for repeated hypoxemia and hypercarbia in activities of daily living in addition to hypoventilation with related hypoxemia and hypercarbia during sleep. As the world's leading referral center for CCHS, the Center for Autonomic Medicine in Pediatrics (CAMP) is engaged in ongoing research to identify factors that impact neurocognitive performance in patients with CCHS in order to optimize clinical management and improve long term neurocognitive outcomes. The purpose of this IRB-approved research study is to implement the NIH Toolbox as a standard measurement of cognitive health in patients with CCHS. Further, the study aims to determine how intrinsic and extrinsic disease factors such as age at diagnosis, PHOX2B mutation type and genotype, and nature of past and present artificial respiratory intervention affect the NIH Toolbox Cognitive scores of individuals with CCHS. Eligible participants will complete a 45-minute NIH Toolbox assessment and parents (or adult participants) will complete an associated, 15-minute Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) questionnaire.
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility of using a novel treatment for sleep apnea in which the patient's own exhaled CO2 is tightly controlled and used in a rebreathe system to reduce sleep disordered breathing.
all patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction superior or equal to 50% less than 2 years after an acute coronary event and receiving ticagrelor will undergo a sleep polygraphy
There is an unmet demand for the evaluation of nocturnal hypoventilation in children with NMD. An ambulatory screening tool that can reliably facilitate timely diagnosis and treatment in these children would be invaluable. If an ambulatory, at home, tcCO2 monitoring device is shown to be diagnostically accurate, sleep physicians would be able to triage children on existing waiting lists and optimize screening of nocturnal hypoventilation as recommended by international guidelines.
This study analyzes the application of the Forced Breath Technique (FBT) to classify apneas during CPAP therapy with a prismaLAB (device name) therapy device. In this study the BiLevel ST (Spontaneous / Timed) therapy mode of the prismaLAB device is reduced to a CPAP pressure profile with exhalation relief by minimization of the pressure gap between exhalation and inhalation pressure. The FBT based apnea classification of the devices firmware is matched with the by hand scoring of the polysomnographic data that is usually used to evaluate the quality of patients sleep.
Prospective, single arm cohort study to evaluate the long-term safety, long-term effectiveness, and survival rate in subjects implanted with the remedē System.
This multi-center observational study will prospectively collect data from patients who have an indication for servo ventilation therapy. This registry is intended to characterize the patient populations that may benefit from DreamStation BiPAP autoSV therapy (PR DS-autoSV, Philips Respironics, Monroeville, PA) in real life settings. In addition, this registry will assess adherence to the PR DS-autoSV therapy, the therapeutic benefits, collect morbidity and mortality data of servo ventilation in patients with central sleep apnea (CSA) and complex sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).
The aims of this study are to 1) determine the optimal levels of O2 flow which prevent nocturnal O2 desaturation while minimizing periods of hyperoxia during the course of nocturnal oxygen therapy (NOXT) in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients with CSA/CSR; 2) document whether within-patient EO2F values change over time during NOXT, and identify factors which predict changes in EO2F; and 3) examine how well a conventional stepwise titration procedure compares to a breath by breath titration using an automated O2 titration system in terms of targeted flow rate and night time oxygenation (oxygen desaturation index, time spent at specific SpO2 targets).
The study objectives are to demonstrate the ease and safety of bilateral cervically implanted phrenic nerve stimulators for Central Sleep Apnea in patients with Heart Failure. To demonstrate the efficacy, both in the short and long term, of implanted phrenic nerve stimulators in patients with Central Sleep Apnea and Heart Failure. Central Sleep Apnea is a form of hypoventilation syndrome, for which this device is FDA approved. We will also determine if the patient's quality and duration of life is improved by using the PNS to treat CSA in heart failure patients.
This study aims to determine the prevalence and prognosis of heart failure with preserved ejection function (HFpEF) among patients being assessed for sleep disordered breathing (SDB).
