In-laboratory versus home self-titration of CPAP in the treatment of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)Fitzpatrick, M FAlloway, CWakeford, TMcLean, AMunt, P
the effect of laboratory CPAP exposure and technologist support in a retrospective chart review of 98 veterans with obstructive sleep apnea to determine whether patients who received standard laboratory CPAP titration complied better with CPAP than did patients who received no laboratory CPAP titration. ...
CPAP re‐titration study recommended therapy change in 80% of patients. A change in CPAP pressure (2.9±1.9 cmH2O; mean±SD) was recommended in 61%. Change in interface was recommended in 63% (40% changed CPAP mask; 44% added a chinstrap or mouth tape for mouth leak). One patient ...
0552 "CMS SCORING OF TITRATION STUDIES LEADS TO INADEQUATE CPAP RX" INTRODUCTION:. For simplicity & to comply with CMS requirements for reimbursement, most sleep labs have switched from AASM-scoring rules to CMS-scoring for all their studies, including Home Studies. This practice understates the...
The PN2-3 domain, at the N-terminus of CPAP, is conserved from inverte- brates to vertebrates (Fig. 1a). Using isothermal titration calori- metry (ITC), we determined a 25.6 nM binding affinity between PN2-3 and tubulin (Fig. 1b), and found PN2-3C (PN2-3's C-terminus, aa ...
If this is not possible, a second night in the sleep center may be necessary for the CPAP titration study.It should be noted that interpretation of NPSG values in children with OSAS is not unanimously agreed upon in the literature (Sargi and Younis, 2007) and only a limited number of ...
(AHI) is greater than 15 in first 2 hours of a diagnostic sleep study. An additional full-night CPAP titration NPSG is considered medically necessary only if the AHI is less than or equal to 15 during the first 2 hours of a diagnostic sleep study, or if the split-night study did not...
Patients then completed one-week prospective sleep diaries followed by first overnight in-lab titration. All patients were PAP naïve and therefore unable to detect mode distinctions between fixed pressurized air (CPAP) and ASV, the latter technology providing higher inspiratory pressures to more ...

Hello, my experience with Dr. Doeing has been very positive. My family doctor recommended a sleep study which is how I met her. She got the process rolling and I ended up with a CPAP machine. She’s pleasant and didn’t appear rushed either at my initial visit or follow up. My expe...
