The Effect of Nasal CPAP
It has been shown that nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nasal CPAP) significantly reduces nocturnal reflux both in patients with sleep apnea and in patients without sleep apnea but consistent abnormal nocturnal reflux. The mechanism by which CPAP is thought to reduce reflux includes the elevation of the resting lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure. In this study, we tested the ef...
متن کاملIncrease of intraocular pressure during nasal CPAP.
Late complications of collapse therapy generally present as pyogenic, caseous, or mycotic empyema’4 at the site of the previous pneumothorax. Hemorrhagic effusion associated with pleural malignant change has been reported. To our knowledge, extrapleural hematoma without malignancy has not yet been described. Our patient’s medical history excluded external violence or traumatic thoracentesis. Al...
متن کاملTitration procedures for nasal CPAP: Automatic CPAP
Background: The best method for titration of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome has not yet been established. The 90th or 95th percentiles of the pressure titrated over time by automatic CPAP (A-CPAP) have been recommended as reference for prescribing therapeutic fixed CPAP (F-CPAP). We compared A-CPAP to F-CPAP, which was determined by ...
متن کاملNasal CPAP in OSA
N asal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the primary treatment for symptomatic patients with obstructive sleep apnoeahypopnoea (OSAH). The best method for determining the optimal CPAP pressure is an ongoing subject of scrutiny. Both the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the American Thoracic Society recommend supervised CPAP titration during overnight polysomnography, based on ...
متن کاملNasal CPAP effect on patterns of sleep apnea.
To evaluate the effect of continuous positive airway pressure via nasal mask (nasal CPAP) on occlusive, mixed, and central apneas (OA, MA, and CA, respectively), we performed nocturnal polysomnography without and with nasal CPAP on 21 patients with sleep apnea. Three patients were unable to tolerate nasal CPAP. The remaining 18 patients had significant reductions in the overall apnea frequency ...
