Filter by:Atomoxetine-plus-oxybutynin therapy (AtoOxy) has been shown to substantially reduce obstructive sleep apnea severity (OSA) in about half of patients. Here, the investigators will study which patients respond meaningfully to therapy using pathophysiological traits measured at baseline sleep studies.
Patients meeting the criteria of obstructive sleep apnea were included, and all patients signed informed consent, which met the requirements of the ethics Committee of our unit. All subjects were hospitalized patients. Subjects were randomly enrolled into High-flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen Therapy group or Continuos Positive Airway Pressure group for 1 month of treatment. Sleep respiration monitoring data including AHI, blood oxygen saturation decline index (ODI) and minimum blood oxygen saturation were recorded before and after treatment. After one month of the first stage of treatment, patients voluntarily continued to receive treatment and observers were included in the second stage of treatment. HFNC group and CPAP group continue to receive corresponding treatment for 6 months.Before and after the study, sleep respiratory monitoring datas,treatment failure rate，good compliance rate are recorded.
Patients meeting the criteria of obstructive sleep apnea were included, and all patients signed informed consent, which met the requirements of the ethics Committee of our unit. All subjects were hospitalized patients. Subjects were randomly enrolled into High-flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen Therapy group or Continues Positive Airway Pressure group for 3 days of treatment. Sleep monitoring was performed on the first and fourth day of enrollment.
It is thought that intermittent hypoxia, poor tissue oxygenation, and perfusion in OSA can lead to eNOS uncoupling. Uncoupled eNOS can reduce nitric oxide (NO), which will result in an imbalance of contraction and diastole. Furthermore, OSA may increase beat-to-to BPV via the characteristic acute blood pressure peaks that follow the end of obstructive apnoeas. Therefore, the aim is to discuss the relationship between vascular endothelial dysfunction and beat-to-beat blood pressure variability in patients with OSAS (Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome).
The purpose of this research study is to see if obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with abnormalities in fat metabolism. Through this research study, the Investigator will evaluate how fat is metabolized in people with and without sleep apnea, what substances the fat tissue releases, and how these substances might change the way the body uses energy and sugar.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is highly effective in treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, this treatment modality relies heavily on patient adherence, and poor adherence to the treatment limits its effectiveness in treating OSA. Strategies to augment adherence are needed in the management of OSA. The smart watch and linked app provide various health information, including sleep, snoring or oxygen saturation during sleep, exercise, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram. The smart watch and linked app could potentially improve adherence to positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to examine whether the use of smart watch and app can increase PAP adherence in patients with OSA.
The researchers are investigating if the Self-Supporting Nasopharyngeal Airway (ssNPA) device can be used in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in children with Hypotonic Upper Airway Obstruction (HUAO).
This clinical trial will compare the diagnostic accuracy of type II HSAT with PSG for determining OSA status following treatment with adenotonsillectomy in children
Polysomnography (PSG) and drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) are widely used diagnostic studies for assessing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity and collapse patterns of the upper airway anatomy during sleep. Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) therapy for obstructive sleep apnea suffers from variable response at the level of the soft palate. The Investigators propose a study examining the physiologic effect of ansa cervicalis stimulation (ACS) alone and in combination with HNS during PSG and DISE.
The main purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based intervention in improving CPAP use compared to online peer support
