In this prospective randomized cross-over trial, 3 different titration procedures will be compared: 1. titration of the mandibular advancement device (MAD) in the home setting based on both the physical limits of the patient's mandibular protrusion and the resolution of subjective complaints, as currently often used in routine clinical practice; 2. an overnight titration PSG using the remotely controlled mandibular positioner (RCMP) with stepwise mandibular protrusion until respiratory events are reduced and 3. incremental protrusion of the mandible during DISE using the RCMP until upper airway collapse at all collapsible levels is eliminated. The aim of this study is to prospectively compare the target protrusion, as well as the treatment outcome in terms of treatment efficacy, of the 3 different titration protocols.
The aim of this study was to estimate and compare the value of the preoperative fentanyl test and the short OSAS screening scale to diagnose severe obstructive sleep apnea；and to observe the required amount of hydromorphone and the adverse respiratory events after adenotonsillectomy.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by a repeated partial or complete obstruction of the airway that results in a intermittent hypoxia and sleep disturbance. A complex and reciprocal link between obesity and OSA exists. On the one hand, obesity is one of the main risk factors for OSA. On the other hand, OSA seems to promote obesity. The changes in sleep patterns that characterize OSA alter energy metabolism and promote weight gain. In particular, OSA is associated with metabolic disturbances, decreased physical activity and changes in energy expenditure resulting in weight gain. OSA is characterized by resistance to leptin which reduces the feeling of satiety and an increase in ghrelin levels which increases the feeling of hunger. There may be an increase in food intake, but very few studies have looked at this aspect. Our current knowledge is based on simple patient reports of the amount of food consumed per 24 hours. First-line treatment of OSA is based on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) but this approach is not curative and weight loss is encouraged. CAPP could facilitate weight loss by restoring sleep quality. Paradoxically, recent studies show weight gain proportional to the duration of use of CPP. Randomized controlled trials offering apneic patients a return to physical activity and hygiene-dietary rules have shown an improvement in OSA after weight loss. A better understanding of the influence of OSA and its treatment on the energy balance through food preferences and olfacto-gustatory sensoriality is an essential prerequisite for personalized nutritional management. In the face of unexpected weight gain under CPP, this type of intervention would be all the more beneficial as OSA and obesity are public health problems representing two independent risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality with increasing incidence. We hypothesize that the treatment of OSA with CPAP changes food preferences in favour of fatty and sugary high-calorie foods.
This is a prospective crossover study to compare the within-subject effect of the two target ranges of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), both within the clinically recommended range of 90- 95%. The specific objective of this study to evaluate the impact of targeting SpO2 within 93-95% compared to the 90-92% range on ventilatory stability in premature infants of 23-29 weeks gestational age (GA).
Sugammadex or neostigmine are given at the end of the surgery to reverse neuro muscular blocking drugs. This study will evaluate whether reversal of NMBD with sugammadex is associated with faster recovery than neostigmine resulting in faster discharge from the operating room (OR) in obese patients with OSA undergoing bariatric surgery. Half of the patients in the study will receive sugammadex and the other half of the patients will receive neostigmine.
Prospective Evaluation of a Palato-Pharyngeal Implant System (PPIS) for the Treatment of Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS): A Pilot Study.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common and has major health implications but treatment options are limited. OSA patients show a marked reduction in upper airway (UA) dilator muscle activity at sleep onset and this phenomenon leads to increased collapsibility of UA compared to normal subjects. In this protocol the investigators will test the effect of LTM1201L, LTM1201LN, LTM1201LB, LTM1201LD administered before sleep on OSA phenotype traits and OSA severity during sleep.
This prospective study aims to establish and evaluate a predictive model to diagnose OSA with maxillofacial characteristics 3D acquisition.
Presently, there isn't any international recommendation to evaluate vigilance in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome. The French Society of Sleep Research and Medicine (SFRMS) recommend evaluating professional driver with a MWT but no recommendation exists for other patients. After a minimal treatment of 4 weeks, the physician has to evaluate the drowsiness risk of these patients using either an objective test like the MWT or a subjective one. In the university hospital Amiens-Picardie, since the 01/01/2015, every patient with an Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome diagnosed by a polysomnography or a ventilatory polygraphy had a MWT after 4 weeks of treatment. At each time of the evaluation, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, tiredness score of Pichot, and depressive score of Beck are performed.
