A titration study is performed after a baseline sleep study (PSG) or home sleep apnea study when a diagnosis of sleep apnea has been established. The purpose of the study is to determine how to optimally treat your sleep apnea by using air pressure generated by a CPAP (continuous positive ...
Objective To assess the cost-effectiveness of automatic continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) titration at home on 1 night or 2 consecutive nights in patients with the sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS). Patients and methods A home titration study was performed using automatic CPAP for 2 ...
with obstructive sleep apnoea during a single night, with ambulatory polysomnography performed in a conventional hospital room; the efficacy of the fixed pressure determined by the auto-nCPAP device was assessed by an ambulatory full polysomnography 2 weeks after the initiation of treatment at home. ...
ES indicated medium changes for home group in PGWBI total score, and Anxiety, Depression, Well-being, Health and Vitality subscales, and in SF-12 MCS. Discussion The results of this study show that HRQoL among subjects afferent to our sleep center for suspicion of OSA was impaired at first...
Riggs et al34 and Wilens et al36 used OROS methylphenidate in their study and set the maximum dose at 72 mg/d. Simonoff et al,35 using immediate-release methylphenidate, had a maximum of 1.5 mg/kg/d, and both Greenhill et al,32 using modified-release methylphenidate, and Findling et ...
A promising solution is to detect sleep apnea events in advance, and to adjust the pressure accordingly, which could improve the long‐term use of CPAP treatment. The use of CPAP titration data may reflect a similar response of patients to therapy at home. Our study aimed to develop a ...
1) sleep respiration monitoring auto pressure titration 睡眠监测压力滴定 1. Objective: To study the effect of sleep respiration monitoring auto pressure titration on the preoperation of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS). 目的:应用睡眠监测压力滴定来了解阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征 (...
This study addresses this question. METHODS: One hundred and twenty two patients undergoing a trial of NCPAP were randomly allocated to either manual or automatic (Horizon, DeVilbiss) titration of pressure during their first night on NCPAP in a hospital sleep laboratory. The primary outcome (...
Background Perceived Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) is impaired in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This study examines changes in HRQoL aspects occurring immediately after CPAP titration. Furthermore, we analyzed variations in each gender and in patients undergoing home or laboratory-based CPAP...
