Should use of 4 hours continuous positive airway pressure per night be considered acceptable compliance?

چکیده
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) reduces blood pressure in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients, as well as in patients with resistant hypertension. The effect of CPAP is directly related to treatment compliance [1–3]. Observational studies have shown a reduction in cardiovascular mortality risk in severe OSA patients treated with CPAP and adequate compliance [4–6]. A recent randomised controlled trial (RCT) showed a reduction in cardiovascular events (including hypertension incidence) in patients with adequate CPAP compliance [7]. However, what is an adequate definition of CPAP compliance?

The effect of nasal surgery on nasal continuous positive airway pressure compliance.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard therapy for sleep apnea; however, compliance rates are historically poor. Among the most commonly cited reasons for nonadherence is nasal obstruction. Our study sought to examine if nasal surgery actually increases CPAP compliance. STUDY DESIGN Prospective case series. METHODS Nasal CPAP-intolerant obstru...
متن کاملSelf-reported vs measured compliance with nasal CPAP for obstructive sleep apnea.
To estimate reliability of self-reported compliance with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), we studied 63 OSA patients aged 53.7 +/- 1.2 years (mean +/- SEM) with an apnea hypopnea index (AHI) of 50.8 +/- 2.9 and lowest sleep SaO2 of 65.6 +/- 2.3 percent receiving nasal CPAP for 539 +/- 44 days. During a follow-up polysomnography (PSG) on...

INTRODUCTION Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is currently a public health problem of great importance. When misdiagnosed or improperly treated, it can lead to serious consequences on patients' quality of life. The gold standard treatment for cases of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, especially in mild to severe and symptomatic cases, is continuous positive airway pressure therapy. Compliance ...
متن کاملAdverse effects of nasal continuous positive airway pressure therapy in sleep apnoea syndrome.
Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) is now the treatment of choice for patients with sleep apnoea syndrome. Side-effects and adverse reactions have been described in isolated reports with this device. We have, therefore, systematically studied the side-effects of nCPAP therapy in 300 consecutive patients referred to the London Chest Hospital Ventilatory Support Unit. Ninety-six pe...

Pressure intolerance is a reason for poor acceptance and subsequent compliance in some patients starting treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). In unselected populations initiating CPAP; different types of pressure generating device have not been found to improve compliance. We hypothesized that using Bi-level PAP for patients who reported pressure related discomfort as a ca...
