Sleep-related breathing disorders. 5. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea.
CPAP should be considered the first line of treatment in patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea. In our centre in Sydney this generally means patients with more than 20 apnoea/hypopnoeas per hour with repeated dips in oxyhaemoglobin saturation and usually some symptomatology. Despite this first line role of nasal CPAP, recent objective studies question whether earlier enthusi...
متن کاملEfficacy of automated continuous positive airway pressure in children with sleep-related breathing disorders in an attended setting.
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of automated continuous positive airway pressure (Auto-CPAP) in children. Sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs) include the clinical spectrum of symptomatic chronic snoring, upper airway resistance syndrome, and obstructive sleep apnea. This spectrum occurs in adults and children. Less data are available for chil...

Sleep disorders encompass a broad group of conditions. In this article the sleep related breathing disorders are considered from the initial presentation through diagnosis and investigations to management.
متن کاملEnhancing adherence to positive airway pressure therapy for sleep disordered breathing.
Sleep disordered breathing is made up of a group of conditions that include obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, complex sleep apnea, and sleep-related hypoventilation. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the first-line therapy for obstructive sleep apnea. The other forms of sleep disordered breathing require different types of positive airway pressure (PAP). Adherence to PAP...
متن کاملResidual sleep-disordered breathing during autotitrating continuous positive airway pressure therapy.
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is often treated with autotitrating continuous positive airway pressure (autoCPAP) devices. Clinical and bench tests of these devices have suggested performance limitations. These studies do not indicate whether this is a failure to detect or a failure to respond to airway obstruction. In this randomised, crossover trial, 34 patients with moderate-to-severe OSA un...
