| The CPAP level required to prevent upper airway flow limitation can be substantially reduced when lung volume is increased. |
|
| After achieving stable non-REM sleep, the CPAP was adjusted to the minimal level required to prevent flow limitation. |
|
| Failure occurred when it was not possible to install nasal CPAP in the delivery room or when there was need for intubation before 72 h of life. |
|
| A CPAP acclimation program designed to improve both the titration outcome and overall patient compliance is also relevant. |
|
| The implementation of daytime studies in unselected OSA patients helps to reduce the waiting lists for CPAP titrations. |
|
| In my experience these patients do not do well when suddenly confronted with a t-piece trial or its CPAP equivalent. |
|
| Functionally, CPAP acts as a splint to prevent collapse of the pharyngeal tissues. |
|
| Any orders issued by the ITC would be limited in scope and would have no impact on our latest generations of CPAP products. |
|
| The CPAP machine affect the process of coughing out and spitting out sputum from the respiratory passages, thus leading to pulmonary aspiration. |
|
| Patients were randomly allocated into the CPAP group or the control group using a computer-generated randomisation list. |
|
| Early studies examining OSA patients' use of CPAP suggest that nonadherence to the treatment is a significant problem. |
|
| Current treatment options for OSA include weight loss, CPAP, oral appliances, and surgeries. |
|
| However, in two RCTs, CPAP treatment did not affect insulin sensitivity or glycogenic control neither in diabetics nor in non-diabetics. |
|
| However, there were insufficient data to compare the different types of CPAP, such as fixed CPAP, auto-CPAP, flexible bilevel CPAP, or CPAP with humidification. |
