Filter by:Delirium is a common complication in elderly patients following surgery. Patients who develop delirium after surgery are at increased risk for serious complications, and even death.This multi-centre randomized controlled trial will enroll elderly patients scheduled for elective hip/knee replacement surgery.The objective of this trial is to identify obstructive sleep apnea using ApneaLink Air and to determine whether auto-titrating CPAP treatment of obstructive sleep apnea will decrease the incidence of post-operative delirium in elderly patients undergoing elective hip and knee replacement surgery.
The purpose of this trial is to assess device performance against participants in an overnight study to ensure the product meets user and clinical requirements
Randomized Controlled Trial comparing Rapid Maxillary Expansion with Standard Clinical Practice in patients with residual pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome after adenotonsillectomy.
This investigation is designed to evaluate the at-home usability, performance, user acceptance and reliability of the headgear with a CPAP mask for a duration of 6 months.
This investigation is a prospective non-blinded and non-randomized clinical investigation. This investigation is designed to evaluate the performance (leak and comfort) as well as participant's overall acceptance of the Jupiter mask amongst OSA participants. A total number of up to 15 OSA participants who currently use full face masks will be recruited for the trial.
The purpose of the study is to test the workflow of an auto-titrating mandibular positioner in its intended setting. Participants with obstructive sleep apnea will use the device to determine their eligibility for oral appliance therapy and provide feedback on usability of the device.
The purpose of this research study is to test a new approach for treating patients with obstructive sleep apnea and/or snoring. The new nasal device, nastent (NAS: nasal airway stent), appears to be a useful alternative or additive treatment.
Sleep apnoea affects more than 20% of people over 65 years and is largely underdiagnosed. It does multiply tenfold the occurrence of vascular events, particularly stroke. While Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is currently the Gold standard treatment to prevent cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events, with a major clinical benefit, long term adherence to CPAP is a significant problem and search for alternative treatment is essential.
Evaluation of a Mandibular and Abdominal Motion Detection Sensor (JAWAC) to Prevent Apnea During Sedation With Propofol in TCI Mode
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. Until recently, the search for medicines to activate pharyngeal muscles in sleeping humans has been discouraging. However, exciting new animal research has shown that drugs with noradrenergic and antimuscarinic effects can restore pharyngeal muscle activity to waking levels. In this protocol the investigators will test the effect of atomoxetine (a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor) and oxybutynin (an antimuscarinic drug) administered together on OSA phenotype traits and OSA severity during sleep.
