Effect of continuous positive airway pressure on day/night rhythm of prothrombotic markers in obstructive sleep apnea [PDF]

, 2013
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with an increased risk of atherothrombotic events. A prothrombotic state might partially explain this link.

The Rationale Behind a Continuous Nasal Positive Airway Pressure Machine That Approximates the Nasal Cycle During Sleep [PDF]

, 2017
Normal nasal airflow alternates in dominance between the two nostrils with an ultradian rhythm called the “nasal cycle.” The nasal cycle is thought to enable the patent airway to perform the majority of the air-conditioning functions, while the congested

Continuous positive airway pressure ventilation versus Bi-level positive airway pressure ventilation in patients with blunt chest trauma

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2015
Introduction: The use of positive pressure ventilation has decreased the overall morbidity and mortality associated with blunt chest trauma, but invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is associated with many complications.

Prehospital continuous positive airway pressure for acute respiratory failure: the ACUTE feasibility RCT

Health Technology Assessment, 2021
Background: Acute respiratory failure is a life-threatening emergency. Standard prehospital management involves controlled oxygen therapy. Continuous positive airway pressure is a potentially beneficial alternative treatment; however, it is uncertain ...

Simultaneous sleep study and nasoendoscopic investigation in a patient with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome refractory to continuous positive airway pressure: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2009
Introduction The standard treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome is nasal continuous positive airway pressure. In most cases the obstruction is located at the oropharyngeal level, and nasal continuous positive airway pressure is usually ...

Continuous positive airway pressure treatment in addition to optimal medical therapy for ventricular ectopy in a patient with heart failure and sleep-related breathing disorder

, 2013
In this report we describe the case of a 56-year-old man with a medical history of onset of asthenia, palpitations and dyspnoea for mild efforts. After a negative ergometric test for myocardial ischaemia and 24-h Holter monitoring showing frequent ...

Use of the Inspiron nebuliser during continuous positive airway pressure ventilation

, 1991
The Inspiron Nebuliser 002305 with air entrainment was assessed as a gas delivery device in a continuous positive airway pressure system. Inspired oxygen concentrations, total gas flows and pressures within the system were measured over a range of ...
