Continuous positive airway pressure versus standard care for the treatment of people with mild obstructive sleep apnoea (MERGE): a multicentre, randomised controlled trial

The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, 2019
BACKGROUND The evidence base for the treatment of mild obstructive sleep apnoea is limited and definitions of disease severity vary. The MERGE trial investigated the clinical effectiveness of continuous positive airway pressure in patients with mild ...

Altitude-Associated Central Apnea in Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy [PDF]

Sleep Science
Introduction At high altitudes, hypobaric hypoxia leads to central apneas in both healthy adults and patients with obstructive sleep apnea. This condition correlates with intermittent desaturation and disruption of sleep.

Efficacy of auto-PAP titration in obstructive sleep apnea: Single-center experience

Indian Journal of Respiratory Care, 2020
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-associated breathing disorder, which left untreated can cause severe morbidities or even mortality. The recommended treatment strategy for moderate-to-severe OSA is continuous positive airway pressure (

Optimal positive airway pressure requirement and polysomnography indices of obstructive sleep apnea severity in the Saudi population

Annals of Thoracic Medicine, 2023
CONTEXT: Positive airway pressure (PAP) is the first-line therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Overnight PAP titration for determining optimal PAP requirements is expensive and often inconvenient.
