Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of stellate ganglion block in Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The main question it aims to answer are: • Can stellate ganglion block improve Obstructive Sleep Apnea? Patients were randomly divided into two groups, all provided with routine therapy. Based on this, the experimental group was given stellate ganglion block. The video fluoroscopic swallowing study was done to test the swallowing function before and after the study.
The purpose of this study will to evaluate the degree of postoperative sore throat and Life Impairment changes in patients with sleep apnea who underwent da Vinci robotic arm surgery as an intervention of oral cryotherapy.
The goal of this observational study is to develop new algorithms to detect apnea and/or hypopnea to provide additional insights to Skiin users and to their circle of care to validate and/or improve the current algorithms of the Skiin system for extraction of biological metrics during sleep based on the Skiin ECG and accelerometry data.
Difficult airway management remains the leading cause of anaesthesia-related morbidity and mortality. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a warning sign of difficult airway management. Polysomnography is the gold standard for diagnosis of this syndrome, but the STOP-BANG questionnaire is the preferred screening test. In this study, we wanted to find an answer to the question How successful is the STOP-BANG questionnaire in screening for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in predicting OSAS, difficult mask and difficult intubation in patients undergoing thoracic surgery?
Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent, often undiagnosed, modifiable risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF), as well as AF-related complications and treatment effectiveness. It is unclear which OSA-related pathophysiological mechanism, i.e. intrathoracic pressure shifts, hypoxemia or sympathovagal imbalance, plays the most dominant role, and a better understanding of these mechanisms could provide valuable information in future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in this population. Objective: The primary objective is to assess the role of OSA-related pathophysiological mechanisms in the initiation of AF by a multi-parametric strategy that combines the estimated parameters. The main hypothesis is that intrathoracic pressure fluctuations are the predominant mechanism. The secondary objective is to validate a nonobtrusive sensing technology based on photoplethysmography (PPG) and diaphragm electromyography (dEMG) measurements as surrogates for gold standard technology based on invasive intraoesophageal pressure (PES) measurement. Study population: Adult patients with paroxysmal AF with nocturnal onset and high risk of OSA based on the STOP-BANG questionnaire. Study design: An observational study in a selected cohort. Subjects are recruited from the AF outpatient clinic of the Catharina Hospital, and referred to Kempenhaeghe Centre for Sleep Medicine for a one-night full PSG, with the addition of dEMG and PPG. The acquired data will be analysed at the Eindhoven Technical University. Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary endpoint: Identification of prognostic factors for the initiation of AF in relation to OSA-related pathophysiological mechanisms..nl
The main goal of the study is to explore the relationship between obstructive sleep apnoea and nocturia.
The present study, TheraEquivalence, is a Phase 2 crossover study designed to examine the efficacy and safety of TheraPAP (TPAP) vs. CPAP alone in the treatment of OSA.
This study aims to evaluate the viability of wearable and portable technologies for sleep staging in children and adolescents. The results will be compared with polysomnography, in order to achieve clinical and diagnostic validation. Three domains of devices will be used: movement sensors, wearable EEG band and pulse oximetry. The project will include individuals between the ages of 3 and 18 who reside in São Paulo city and undergo a polysomnography test at the Sleep Laboratory of the Children's Institute of the Hospital das Clínicas of the University of São Paulo, achieving a minimum of 85% sleep efficiency on the night of the test.
This research project will develop and implement a motivational interviewing and electronic messaging intervention to address obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), positive airway pressure (PAP) adherence, and risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in American Indians. The project will work with American Indian Elders, aged 50 years and older, from three Northern Plains Reservations and surrounding communities. A total of 300 American Indian elders with a confirmed OSA diagnosis and prescribed PAP therapy will be randomized to receive usual care consisting of PAP therapy alone (control condition) or usual care plus the culturally informed CATNAP MI component (intervention condition).
Recently, various electronic lifestyle activity monitoring devices (ELAM) are increasingly commercially available. However, the quality and reliability of the data from ELAM are unclear, compared with polysomnography (PSG), which is the gold-standard sleep assessment method. Thus, combining ELAM with PSG will validate ELAM and improve its clinical and research utilization. The investigators propose to conduct this study to validate ELAM device for sleep assessment. The investigators will compare Belun Ring data collection and overnight in-lab PSG measures of Sleep-Disordered Breathing (SDB) and sleep architecture in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) symptoms. The investigators propose to recruit a total of 40 participants with symptoms of OSA. The overall accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of Belun Ring to assess SDB and sleep architecture will be validated by using PSG analysis as a gold standard.
