Initial Adherence to Autotitrating Positive Airway Pressure Therapy: Influence of Upper Airway Narrowing
OBJECTIVES There is still debate concerning the reason for the high initial failure rate of positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment. The objective of this study is to investigate the factors of the initial adherence to PAP, with an emphasis on the role of upper airway narrowing. METHODS The patients were divided into two groups according to the continuation of therapy within the first three ...
متن کاملHeated humidification or face mask to prevent upper airway dryness during continuous positive airway pressure therapy.
STUDY OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were (1) to evaluate the way in which nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy influences the relative humidity (rH) of inspired air; and (2) to assess the impact on rH of the addition of an integrated heated humidifier or a full face mask to the CPAP circuitry. DESIGN The studies were performed in 25 patients with obstructive slee...
متن کاملUsing tracheal pressure to trigger the ventilator and control airway pressure during continuous positive airway pressure decreases work of breathing.
STUDY OBJECTIVE We evaluated the difference in work of breathing (WOB) during spontaneous ventilation with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) among three methods of triggering the ventilator: conventional pressure triggering, tracheal pressure triggering, and flow-by triggering. METHODS In an in vitro model of the respiratory system consisting of a bellows (lungs) in a plastic caniste...
متن کاملContinuous positive airway pressure titration in infants with severe upper airway obstruction or bronchopulmonary dysplasia
INTRODUCTION Noninvasive continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is recognized as an effective treatment for severe airway obstruction in young children. The aim of the present study was to compare a clinical setting with a physiological setting of noninvasive CPAP in infants with nocturnal alveolar hypoventilation due to severe upper airway obstruction (UAO) or bronchopulmonary dysplasia (B...
متن کاملContinuous positive airway pressure is effective in treating upper airway oedema.
The case of a patient with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) and upper airway oedema, is described. The patient presented with alveolar hypoventilation and obstructive apnoeas during sleep. Intravenous steroids (methylprednisolone, 160 mg.day-1) for 5 days did not reduce the oedema. However, it was rapidly reversed by the use of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP). I...
