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 pressure in obstructive sleep apnea: auto-titrating positive airway pressure versus predictive equations

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2021
Background The prescription of equation-based predicted pressure (Ppred) using mathematical equations has been proposed as a practical strategy for the determination of effective positive airway pressure (PAP).

Eustachian tube dysfunction in sleep apnea patients and improvements afforded by continuous positive airway pressure therapy

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2021
Introduction: Upper airway resistance may accompany eustachian dysfunction and alter middle ear pressure in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Patterns of recruitment and injury in a heterogeneous airway network model [PDF]

, 2015
In respiratory distress, lung airways become flooded with liquid and may collapse due to surface-tension forces acting on air-liquid interfaces, inhibiting gas exchange.

Thyroid profile in patients with chronic respiratory failure: effect of domiciliary noninvasive positive airway pressure

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2018
Background Various thyroid hormone states have been described in patients with respiratory failure. Domiciliary noninvasive positive airway pressure (NPAP) can be used for management of chronic respiratory failure.

Oscillating Positive Airway Pressure Versus CPAP for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea [PDF]

, 2015
Although continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the most effective therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), it is not always well tolerated by the patients.

Treatment of sleep central apnea with non-invasive mechanical ventilation with 2 levels of positive pressure (bilevel) in a patient with myotonic dystrophy type 1 [PDF]

, 1906
We are reporting a case of a 29 year-old female with diagnosis of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (Steinert’s disease) with excessive daytime sleepiness, muscle fatigue, snoring, frequent arousals, non-restorative sleep, and witnessed apneas.

Effect of airway pressure on lumbar epidural pressure during positive pressure ventilation [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2011
BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to measure lumbar epidural pressure (EP) during the insertion of a Tuohy needle under general anesthesia and to evaluate the influence of airway pressure on EP.MethodsLumbar EP was measured directly through a Tuohy

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.
