Humidified nasal continuous positive airway pressure in obstructive sleep apnoea.
Heated humidification of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) reduces upper airway symptoms and improves initial use in obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS). The present study aimed to assess the effect of heated humidification of nCPAP on upper airway symptoms and initial use in obstructive sleep apnoea. This study was of a randomised, crossover design. Subjects with polysomno...
متن کاملContinuous Positive Airway Pressure: Is it a route for infection in those with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea?
INTRODUCTION Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), with limited data about the prevalence of respiratory infections and microbial colonization in these patients. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine if CPAP use is associated with respiratory infections and to identify the organisms that colonize or infect these pa...
متن کاملSleep-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 کاملCerebrospinal fluid leak associated with nasal continuous positive airway pressure treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea.
Clear rhinorrhoea is a common symptom in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), which may worsen with nasal continuous positive airway pressure treatment (nCPAP). However, rhinorrhoea can also be the presenting symptom of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, which is due to a communication between the subarachnoid space and the nasal cavity or sinuses. We report another case of a patient with...
متن کاملDecrease in haematocrit with continuous positive airway pressure treatment in obstructive sleep apnoea patients.
Previous preliminary results have shown an overnight decrease in haematocrit and red cell count after the first night of treatment with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients. The present study was designed to confirm these preliminary data, and to analyse the long-term effects of CPAP. The haematocrit and red cell count (RCC) were measured i...
