Filter by: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 O2VERLAP study investigators would like to find out if individuals living with both COPD and OSA would benefit from an online, educational curriculum, coupled with access to peer support (i.e. telephone and online chatting with peers) and remote CPAP adherence monitoring data. The curriculum and peer coaching is meant to provide participants the information and tools they need to be more compliant in using their CPAP device.
This investigation is a prospective, non randomized, non blinded study. This investigation is designed to evaluate the performance, comfort and ease of use with the F&P trial nasal mask amongst Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) patients.
The objective of this prospective cohort study is to determine the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in patients with and without thoracic aortic aneurysm.
The prevalence of OSA (Obstructive sleep apneaļ¼OSA) is 2%-4% in general population and 16%-47% in surgical-heart failure patients. Our previous study found that OSA was associated with the increasing incidence of perioperative adverse events.The continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), as the standard treatment for OSA, is extensively applied clinically. The previous study reported that postoperative AHI was reduced and SPO2 was increased by CPAP treatment. However, whether CPAP treatment can improve OSA postoperative and related adverse events or not in patients with rheumatic valvular heart diseases (RVHD) were not reported.The purpose of this study is to observe the effective of preoperative CPAP on postoperative sleep parameters and adverse events, such as AHI changes, duration of ICU stay and duration of mechanical ventilation.
This study aims to validate whether the pattern of airway collapse recorded during Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE) mirrors that of natural sleep, and to develop a model for airway collapse. Sensors will be placed in subjects' upper airways during DISE and then during in-lab sleep studies. The sleep study results will be compared with OR findings to create an aerodynamic model for natural sleep and to assess whether airway observations during DISE were valid representations of natural sleep.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of cNEP (continuous negative external pressure) for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea during two weeks of home use in subjects of Japanese ethnicity.
A new, well-tolerated treatment for obstructive sleep apnea - tongue stimulation - is a device which opens the airway during sleep and can provide treatment for patients unable to use the mask and hose treatment. The study will evaluate the effect of this new treatment on blood pressure and heart-related measures to see if it lowers patients' risk of heart problems.
Introduction: The Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is characterized by obstructed superior airway during sleeping period promoting intermittent hypoxia-reoxygenation events. These events cause consequences such as cardiorespiratory and peripheric muscle structure alterations, which can cause reduction of the exercise tolerance. In this sense the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is important to decrease the repercussions of the illness and cooperate to maintain the exercise functional capacity. To measure this capacity, one good option is the six-minute step test (6MST), that is low cost and submaximal, in addition to being adaptable and portable. However, there are doubts if it´s really capable to determinate the functional capacity of exercise of individuals with OSA treated with CPAP. Objective: Evaluate the validity and reproducibility of 6MST to determine the functional capacity of exercise in individual with OSA treated with CPAP and develop a model of a reference equation for the performance of the test in this population. Material and methods: This is an observational, prospective and cross-sectional study, in which will be evaluated 132 volunteers (66 men and 66 women), with age between 18 and 65 years, diagnosed with OSA of moderate and severe degree, treated with CPAP for a minimum of three months, recruited of the ambulatory of pneumology of Otávio de Freitas Hospital. Initially will be collected personal and anthropometric information, answered to sleep questioners, quality of sleep and physical exercise, also respiratory muscle strength and lung function. The realization of the tests to evaluate the functional capacity of exercise will be done in two days with a maximum of seven days between the tests. In each day, the volunteers will do two 6MST and two six-minute walk test (6MWT), which order will be determined by randomization. Expected Results: It is expected that the 6MST to be showed as reproducible and capable to quantify the functional capability of exercise in individuals with OSA treated with CPAP.
The investigation is designed to evaluate the comfort, ease of use and performance of a trial nasal mask for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in the home environment.
