A comparison of CPAP and CPAPFLEX in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in World Trade Center responders: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND Following the World Trade Center disaster, a large number of individuals involved in rescue and recovery activity were exposed to significant amounts of dust, and reported symptoms of chronic nasal and sinus inflammation. An unusually high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has also been observed in this World Trade Center Responder population. This project aims to examine t...
متن کاملNasal resistance in obstructive sleep apnea.
BACKGROUND Acute increases in nasal resistance are known to induce upper airway occlusion in predisposed subjects. With the limited efficacy of nasal surgery alone in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the relevance of chronically increased nasal resistance in the pathophysiologic features of OSA remains undetermined. METHODS Seventy-one patients with OSA (apnea+hypopnea index > ...
متن کاملEffects of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome on serum aminotransferase levels and insulin resistance
Abstract Bckground: Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are at risk of developing the fatty liver as a result of being overweight. Several studies suggest that OSA per se could be a risk factor for liver injury and ischemic hepatitis with OSA. The OSA is an independent risk factor for Insulin resistance. Therefore, we investigated liver enzymes and insulin resistance in patients with O...

543 OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA (OSA) IS CHARACTER‐ IZED BY RECURRENT NARROWING AND OCCLUSION OF THE UPPER AIRWAY DURING SLEEP, RESULTING IN sleep fragmentation and intermittent hypoxemia.1 In the context of the current epidemic of obesity, it has been estimated that ap‐ proximately 17% of adults have mild or worse OSA, and 5.7% have moderate or worse OSA.2 It is associated with increased morbidity...
متن کاملNasal inflammation in sleep apnoea patients using CPAP and effect of heated humidification.
Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can cause undesirable nasal symptoms, such as congestion to obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients, whose symptoms can be attenuated by the addition of heated humidification. However, neither the nature of nasal symptoms nor the effect of heated humidification on nasal pathophysiology and pathology are convincingly known. 20 patients with OSA on...
متن کاملA pilot evaluation of a nasal expiratory resistance device for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major problem in need of new treatment approaches. The present pilot study tests the hypothesis that the application of expiratory resistance via a nasal valve device would improve breathing during sleep in subjects with OSA and in primary snorers. METHODS Thirty men and women were recruited from the community and from the Stanford University Slee...
