Sleeping together: a pilot study of the effects of shared sleeping on adherence to CPAP treatment in obstructive sleep apnea. OBJECTIVES: To examine the sleep of married couples, recorded together in the laboratory before and after the husband is treated with continuous positive a... R Cartwright...
Sixty matched patients in each group (full night and split night group) were included in the study. Regarding sleep parameters, sleep efficiency (75.9±15.7 vs. 81.5±10.5,p=0.024) was significantly shorter, stage 1% was significantly higher (22.3±14 vs. 17.9±15.8,p=0.013) and REM % (...
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 und

This study was approved as a quality activity through the Metro North Quality and Safety Unit (ID 3929). Sleep study and questionnaire data were collated and merged with adherence data. Analysis will begin shortly. INTENDED OUTCOME AND IMPACT. We intend to publish the results of this study in...
The use of fixed-pressure CPAP at sufficient levels to maintain upper airway patency in sleep may contribute to lung hyperinflation and reduced sleep quality, potentially compromising adherence to treatment. In this context, the study by Orr et al., recently published in Respirology, is a welcome...
Discussion: This study demonstrates that by encouraging nasal/nasal pillow interface on the initial titration, the proportions of FFM recommended were reduced. Compared to FFM, Nasal/nasal pillow masks were associated with lower recommended CPAP pressures, and overall AHI's were lower, when compared ...
