We have previously demonstrated that upper airway obstruction in sleep apnea/hypopnea
syndrome (SAHS) can be accurately assessed in real-time by measuring respiratory …

The forced oscillation technique (FOT) is a noninvasive method of potential clinical interest
for quantitatively assessing airway mechanics during sleep. We investigated the applicability …

Upper airway obstruction in the sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome (SAHS) can be easily
assessed by measuring respiratory impedance with the forced oscillation technique (FOT) …

The forced oscillation technique (FOT) is a noninvasive method to measure respiratory
resistance (Rrs) potentially useful for monitoring upper airway obstruction in patients with …

The forced oscillation technique (FOT) is a noninvasive method that is useful for assessing
airway obstruction and for titrating continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients …

Automatic CPAP (auto-CPAP) is engineered to automatically provide a positive pressure to
the upper airway in response to apnea, hypopnea, airflow limitation, or snoring in patients …

Sleep breathing disorders (SBD) are related to obstructions resulting from repetitive
narrowing and closure of the pharyngeal airway. Their diagnoses and treatment are critically …

The forced oscillation technique (FOT) has been demonstrated to be a very sensitive tool for
the assessment of upper airway obstruction during nasal continuous positive airway …

Because successful medical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome
(SAHS) depends on adequate CPAP treatment, we have analyzed in nine SAHS patients …

Esophageal pressure amplitude (Δ Pes), inspiratory pulmonary resistance (Rli) and
inspiratory flow limitation score (FS) are used as indices of upper airway obstruction for the …
