Complex sleep apnea syndrome
Complex sleep apnea syndrome (CompSAS) is a distinct form of sleep-disordered breathing characterized as central sleep apnea (CSA), and presents in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients during initial treatment with a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device. The mechanisms of why CompSAS occurs are not well understood, though we have a high loop gain theory that may help to explain i...
متن کاملComplex Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Complex sleep apnea is the term used to describe a form of sleep disordered breathing in which repeated central apneas (>5/hour) persist or emerge when obstructive events are extinguished with positive airway pressure (PAP) and for which there is not a clear cause for the central apneas such as narcotics or systolic heart failure. The driving forces in the pathophysiology are felt to be ventila...
متن کاملSleep apnea devices and sleep apnea surgery should be compared on effectiveness, not efficacy.
number of reasons. It is unlikely that any of the trials included in the review would employ therapy with the combination of LABAs and corticosteroids (CS). However, even if they had, one would imagine the distribution would be similar across the groups in a randomized controlled trial, and their effect would be of limited concern. The trials in the review are older, and these drugs are infrequ...
متن کاملMethods in comparative effectiveness research.
Comparative effectiveness research (CER) seeks to assist consumers, clinicians, purchasers, and policy makers to make informed decisions to improve health care at both the individual and population levels. CER includes evidence generation and evidence synthesis. Randomized controlled trials are central to CER because of the lack of selection bias, with the recent development of adaptive and pra...
متن کاملA Comparative study of four Persian versions of sleep questionnaires for screening obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS)
Background: Diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is valuable, but it is time-consuming and expensive. Appropriate screening instruments help clinicians select high-risk individuals for further investigations. In the present study, we compared 4 popular instruments used in screening OSAS including Berlin, STOP, STOP-BANG questionnaires, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). ...
