Filter by:This study evaluates the efficacy, the tolerance and the acceptability/compliance of the nasal airway stent, Nastent, for the treatment of mild to moderate OSA and snoring in European adult patients without cardiovascular and/or respiratory comorbidities/disorders.
Excess weight or obesity is associated with an increased risk of health disorders: high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular risks, dyslipidemia and sleep apneas. During pregnancy in obese women, the risk of preeclampsia increases by three and the risk of fetal death in utero by five. Snoring and Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may be associated with increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including maternal cardio pulmonary status, fetal heart rate and fetal acidosis-basis status by recurrent upper-airway obstruction, hypoventilation, and intermittent nocturnal hypoxia. Reports in pregnancy have identified in association with OSA and preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction and stillbirth. The prevalence of OSA among women is estimated to be 2-5%, but it remains underdiagnosed during pregnancy. In sleep apnea syndrome, a few data have shown better pregnancy and fetal outcome with the use continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. the hypothesis is in obese pregnant women that there could be a significant association between sleep apnea syndrome and hypertensive disorders, preeclampsia and adverse fetal outcomes This is a prospective study of Women with a body mass index of 35 kg.m2 or greater. The aim of this study is to determinate the prevalence of sleep apnea syndrome in obese pregnant women and the benefit of CPAP on the maternal and fetal outcome.
The primary aim of this study is to assess the relationship between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in patients with T1D. The secondary aims of this study are to assess: (1) the prevalence of OSA in patients with T1D; (2) the relationship between OSA and metabolic parameters (such as glycaemic control, blood pressure, lipids and weight) in patients with T1D; (3) the relationship between OSA and diabetes-related microvascular complications (retinopathy, nephropathy, peripheral neuropathy) in patients with T1D; and (4) the potential mechanisms for the relationship between OSA and diabetic-related complications if such a relationship is found.
The primary objective of the Sleep and Stent II is to determine the prevalence of REM-OSA in DM versus non-DM patients undergoing clinically indicated PCI. The secondary objectives are to investigate the association between REM-AHI and (1) cardiac arrhythmia based on ambulatory ECG monitoring, (2) excessive daytime sleepiness, and (3) glycemic control in patients with DM. In addition, we will determine the prevalence of REM-OSA based on alternative definitions, including (a) overall AHI at least 5 with AHI REM/AHI NREM ratio at least 2; (b) overall AHI at least 5 with AHI REM/AHI NREM ratio at least 2 and with AHI NREM < 15; (c) overall AHI at least 5, AHI REM/AHI NREM ratio at least 2 and with AHI NREM < 8.
This study compares under controlled conditions if different flow rates affect apnoea time after induction of anaesthesia and how CO2 clearance is influenced. Furthermore, this study enables to quantify the effects of increased pCO2 on vital parameters (e.g. blood pressure, cardiac output, cerebral perfusion, etc.) The investigators will enroll patients undergoing elective surgery at the University Hospital of Bern, Switzerland. Once anesthesia has been induced, apnoea will set it. During this period, the investigators will compare different methods of apnoeic oxygenation for a maximum of 15 or 30 minutes. Before discharge, an interview will be conducted, assessing complications and patient satisfaction.
This study will be conducted to determine whether lemborexant as compared to placebo decreases the peripheral oxygen saturation during total sleep time in healthy adult and elderly participants after a single dose of treatment and to determine whether it increases the apnea-hypopnea index after single and multiple doses of treatment in adult and elderly participants with mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Sleep apnea is a prevalent problem and references for the evaluation of this condition often exceeds the sleep clinic's capacity thus creating important delays in the patients' care. The overall goal of this project is to assess the feasibility and the non-inferiority of integrating a clinical nurse, or supernurse, to the initial consultation team. The hypothesis is that the integration of a clinical nurse to the sleep clinic's evaluation team is non inferior in terms of patients' outcomes such as improvement of symptoms and quality of life as well as adherence to treatment. This study is supported by funding dedicated to teaching and research activities related to sleep-disordered breathing.
Postoperative pain is usually treated with opioids. Among them, oxycodone is popular in the daily practice as it is administered orally and is easily titrated. However, side-effects include increase duration and frequency of apneic episodes. Some authors believe that tramadol has less impact on these apneic episodes during the first postoperative night, based on a trial that reported conclusive results only during the first 2 postoperative hours. The objective of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effect of postoperative pain treatment of oxycodone with tramadol on apneic episodes during the first and third postoperative nights.
To assess the diagnostic validity and cost-effectiveness of a home respiratory polygraphy (HRP) performed at home compared with the standard polysomnography (PSG) in children with clinically suspected Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is frequently reported in subjects with trisomy 21. The consequences of this syndrome are expressed in various disorders such as cognitive and cardiovascular alterations. It is also reported a premature exhaustion with the achievement of various professional or recreational activities, as well as an increase in the frequency of daytime sleepiness. In trisomy 21, there are factors that are systematically associated with obstructive apnea. The identification of these factors would make it possible to diagnose OSAS earlier, under-diagnosed in the population with trisomy 21 even though these OSAS are associated with increased cardiovascular risks. The aim of this study is to identify the predictive factors associated with sleep apnea in the trisomy population in order to propose early detection. OSAS treatment in a young adult with Down syndrome could reduce physical fatigue apparition during various activities, reduce daytime sleepiness, and have a positive impact on physical fitness, and therefore more broadly on health.
