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.

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.

Biphasic Positive Airway Pressure or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure: A Randomized Trial [PDF]

Pediatrics, 2016
BACKGROUND: There is currently no clear evidence that nasal-biphasic positive airway pressure (n-BiPAP) confers any advantage over nasal-continuous positive airway pressure (n-CPAP). Our hypothesis was that preterm infants born before 30 weeks' gestation and <2 weeks old when extubated onto n-BiPAP will have ...
