Studies on continuous positive airway pressure breathing systems.

چکیده
A study was undertaken to compare CPAP/IMV systems shown to be in common use in the U.K. The most frequently used system (Servo 900B) has characteristics which are likely to increase the work of breathing. Recommendations are made regarding the theoretically most acceptable systems.

Sleep-disordered breathing and hormones.
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is not only a problem of the upper airway but is a systemic condition with endocrine and metabolic interactions. The accumulating body of evidence shows that SDB induces changes in the serum levels or secretory patterns of several hormones. Conversely, various endocrine disorders and hormone therapies may induce, exacerbate or alleviate SDB. Much of the understa...
متن کاملThe use of positive pressure devices by physiotherapists.
The aim of this paper is to review the indications for use by physiotherapists, such as physiological rationale and the comparative efficacy of intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). A brief discussion of nasal intermittent positive airway pressure is also included. The use of IPPB for post operative prophylaxis has not been supported in ...
متن کاملA simple and inexpensive device for administration of continuous positive airway pressure breathing.
A simple system for administration of continuous positive airway pressure breathing uses a corrugated hose in the modified Mapleson D system for anaesthesia. The only mechanical component of the system is a spring-loaded valve for positive end expiratory pressure.
متن کاملRespiratory correlates of muscle sympathetic nerve activity in heart failure.
1. Sympathetic activation in congestive heart failure indicates a poor prognosis. Haemodynamic correlates of increased sympathetic nerve traffic to muscle (MSNA) and to the heart have been well characterized, but these account for only 50 to 60% of the variance in sympathetic activity between patients.2. In healthy subjects, breathing pattern modulates MSNA and positive airway pressure consiste...
متن کاملEffect of reduced expiratory pressure on pharyngeal size during nasal positive airway pressure in patients with sleep apnoea: evaluation by continuous computed tomography.
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine whether reducing the expiratory pressure during nasal positive airway pressure for reasons of comfort causes a substantial decrease in the upper airway calibre. METHODS Eight patients with obstructive sleep apnoea were studied. Continuous computed tomography (each run lasting 12 seconds) was used to measure minimum and maximum pharyngeal cross sectiona...
