An Unsuccessful Positive Airway Pressure Titration Study on a Young Girl with Obstructive Sleep ApneaA 7-year-old girl with trisomy 21 was brought to medical attention because of persistent snoring after an adenotonsillectomy. She had hypothyroidism and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Her medications ...
In patients with positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA), oral appliance therapy (OAT) is among the first-line treatments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a new standardized stepwise titration protocol for OAT in a group of patients with POSA. Methods This was an obser...
Effective CPAP changes related to sleep stage and body position in osa during up and down-titration: experimental studydoi:10.1016/j.sleep.2019.11.614T.-H. LeeJ.-G. NamO.-L. ParkE.-M. LeeElsevier BVSleep Medicine
METHODS. We hypothesise that patients with better perceived sleep quality, at the time of their CPAP titration study will have greater uptake and adherence to CPAP. We aim to: 1. Compare the change in patients' perceived sleep quality between diagnostic and CPAP titration studies, and future ...

Last but not least is the definition of the threshold for pathological central apnea index (CAI) in this population. Literature data suggest that CAI higher than 10 may be considered normal even in healthy infants [5]. Central events may be related to prematurity rather than BPD [6,7]. ...
Comparison of conventional nighttime with automatic or manual daytime CPAP titration in unselected sleep apnea patients: study of the usefulness of daytime titration studies. Respir Med. 2004 Jul; 98 (7):619–25.Lloberes P, Rodriguez B, Roca A, et al. Comparison of conventional night-time...
Methods: In this study, 75 patients referred to CPAP titration were divided into three groups. In groups one and two, Lidocaine-prilocaine cream and Petroleum jelly were used respectively. The third group had no intervention. Results: VAS discomfort immediately (VAS0), after 15 min (VAS15), ...
