CPAP in AF Patients With OSA
Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with atrial fibrillation. This study is to evaluate the effect of continuous positive airway pressure on the burden of atrial fibrillation in the patients with obstructive sleep apnea and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
CPAP for Esophageal Cancer With Radiotherapy
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the use of CPAP in patients with esophgaeal cancer undergoing radiotherapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: does use of CPAP decrease exposure of normal lung to radiation? does use of CPAP decrease exposure of normal heart to radiation? …
Sleep Quality Evolution: Dreem Under CPAP
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has a caricatural effect in reducing nocturnal respiratory abnormalities and improving the micro-and macrostructure of sleep. Studies characterizing the improvement of acute sleep parameters after the initiation of CPAP are limited to one or two nights of polysomnographic recording. This is related to the cost …
Stroke and CPAP Outcome Study 3
A problem with breathing during sleep, called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), likely increases the risk of stroke and is common in people who have had a stroke, present in about 2/3 of stroke survivors. There is also evidence that OSA predicts worse outcome after stroke. The question being addressed in …
A Mindfulness-Based Intervention to Improve CPAP
The main purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based intervention in improving CPAP use compared to online peer support
Impact of Extended CPAP on Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
The purpose of this pilot study is to compare if keeping infants on CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) support for an extended period of time until they are 32 weeks corrected gestational age or 1250 grams (approximately 2 pounds and 12 ounces) will decrease their degree of lung disease as …
CPAP or BiPAP for Motion Mitigation During Radiotherapy
When using highly conformal radiotherapy techniques, such as proton therapy, a controlled breathing pattern and a minimal breathing amplitude could greatly benefit the treatment of mobile tumors. This reduction in tumor motion may be achieved with the use of a ventilator that is able to regulate and modulate the breathing …
Effect of CPAP on Respiratory Load in COPD
Both intrinsic positive end expiratory pressure (PEEPi) and dynamic hyperinflation are considered as inspiratory loads which increase work of breathing in patients with COPD. The application of extrinsic positive end expiratory pressure (PEEPe) supplied by CPAP has been claimed to reduce inspiratory load based on change in esophageal pressure which …
CPAP Effect on the Polycythemia in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Objectives: To compare the response of polycythemia in terms of hematocrit decrease in patients treated with positive airway pressure (CPAP) versus patients not treated with CPAP. Methodology: Randomized, parallel-group, nonblinded, controlled clinical trial. Patients diagnosed with OSA in a respiratory polygraphy (RP) and who meet all the inclusion criteria and …
Effect of CPAP on Abnormal Gastroesophageal Reflux and Lung Inflammation in IPF
This study will evaluate the effect of CPAP therapy on esophageal pH and lung inflammation in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and sleep apnea.
