Factors Affecting Patients’ Adherence to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Disorder: A Multi-Method Approach
Background: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard therapy for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) disorder. However, patients’ adherence to its regular use is poor. The present study aimed to determine the adherence rate to CPAP therapy by identifying factors affecting its regular use and its associated problems and discomforts among a sample population in Mashhad (...
متن کاملContinuous Positive Airway Pressure for Adults with Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
www.thoracic.org C LI P A N D C O P Y OSA patients wake up often throughout the night (although they may not remember doing so) and thus can be very tired during the daytime. In addition, each stoppage in breathing can lead to falls in oxygen level and a stress release of adrenaline, both of which can contribute to high blood pressure and put a strain on the heart. Left untreated, this situatio...

متن کاملImpaired vascular regulation in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: effects of continuous positive airway pressure treatment.
RATIONALE Impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation has been documented in patients with sleep apnea. This impairment may result in blood flow dysregulation during apnea-induced fluctuations in arterial blood gases. OBJECTIVES To test the hypothesis that hypoxic and hypercapnic vasodilation in the forearm and cerebral circulation are impaired in patients with sleep apnea. METHODS We expos...
متن کاملPositional treatment vs continuous positive airway pressure in patients with positional obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the relative efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and positional treatment in the management of positional obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), using objective outcome measures. DESIGN A prospective, randomized, single blind crossover comparison of CPAP and positional treatment for 2 weeks each. SETTING A university teaching hospit...
