متن کاملNasal CPAP in OSA
N asal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the primary treatment for symptomatic patients with obstructive sleep apnoeahypopnoea (OSAH).

متن کاملResidual sleepiness in patients with OSA on CPAP
PEPIN et al. [1] recently published a very interesting study of residual excessive sleepiness (RES) in 502 patients with obstructive sleep apnoea treated successfully with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). They concluded that a significant percentage (about 6–12%, depending on inclusion criteria) had RES. They concluded that, since about 230,000 French patients are on CPAP, a minimum ...
متن کاملCPAP Improves Endothelial Function in Patients With Minimally Symptomatic OSA
Original Research T prevalence of minimally symptomatic OSA presenting without overt daytime sleepiness among middle-aged adults has been shown to be as high as 30%, 1 making OSA one of the most frequent disorders and, thus, of epidemiologic interest. Prospective epidemiologic studies have implicated OSA syndrome (OSAS) as an independent risk factor for stroke and myocardial ischemia. 2 Multipl...
