Effect of Acute Intermittent CPAP Depressurization during Sleep in Obese Patients. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) describes intermittent collapse of the airway during sleep, for which continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is often prescribed for treatment.

Titration procedures for nasal CPAP: Automatic CPAP or prediction formula? [PDF]

open access: yesSleep Medicine, 2008
The best method for titration of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome has not yet been established. The 90th or 95th percentiles of the pressure titrated over time by automatic CPAP (A-CPAP) have been recommended as reference for prescribing therapeutic fixed CPAP (F-CPAP). We compared A-CPAP to F-

Airway Involvement in Conradi–Hünermann–Happle Syndrome: A Novel Clinical Manifestation

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We report the first documented case of airway involvement in Conradi–Hünermann–Happle syndrome (CDPX2), an X‐linked dominant form of chondrodysplasia punctata caused by pathogenic variants in EBP. A 2‐month‐old female with genetically confirmed CDPX2 developed severe subglottic stenosis and persistent respiratory distress requiring CPAP; cross ...

Gestational sleep apnea. The association between pregnancy and preeclampsia with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

open access: yesAlʹmanah Kliničeskoj Mediciny, 2019
Preeclampsia (PE) continues to be one of the main reasons of maternal mortality even in countries with a high level of medical care. Current PE treatment can be etiological and symptomatic.

Reliability of home CPAP titration with different automatic CPAP devices [PDF]

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2008
CPAP titration may be completed by automatic apparatus. However, differences in pressure behaviour could interfere with the reliability of pressure recommendations. Our objective was to compare pressure behaviour and effective pressure recommendations between three Automatic CPAP machines (Autoset Spirit, Remstar Auto, GK 420).Sixteen untreated ...

Sleep apnoea and its impact on public health [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
In 1997 we published a systematic review on the health effects of obstructive sleep apnoea and the effectiveness of treatment with CPAP. This generated much controversy and considerable correspondence.

Effects of the CPAP Treatment on the NON-REM Sleep Microstructures in Patients with Severe Apnea-Hypoapnea Syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Sleep quality is affected in patients with sleep apnea- hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) with nocturnal and diurnal consequences. Most of these patients who are treated with positive airway pressure (CPAP) return to normal sleep patterns.

The Association of Upper Airway Anatomy and Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Response in OSA

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
CT‐derived measurements of tongue and craniofacial anatomy were evaluated in adults undergoing hypoglossal nerve stimulation for obstructive sleep apnea. Relative tongue volume was not significantly associated with treatment response. Exploratory analyses suggest that other anatomic features such as hyoid positions or transverse maxillary dimensions ...

AVALIAÇÃO DOS EFEITOS AGUDOS DA PRESSÃO POSITIVA CONTINUA NAS VIAS AÉREAS EM PORTADORES DE DOENÇA PULMONAR OBSTRUTIVA CRÔNICA EXACERBADO (FASE PÓS-AGUDA)

open access: yesColloquium Vitae, 2016
O presente estudo visa avaliar os efeitos agudos da CPAP em portadores de DPOC exacerbado (fase pós-aguda), assim como a influência no desfecho da internação hospitalar.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Emerging Treatments Targeting the Genioglossus Muscle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction caused by a loss of upper airway dilator muscle tone during sleep and an inadequate compensatory response by these muscles in the context of an anatomically
