Many patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), despite therapy with nasal
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), have persisting daytime somnolence that may …

We previously showed that upper airway resistance can be inferred from the inspiratory flow
contour during continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) titration in obstructive sleep …

We investigated whether cephalometric measurements, nocturnal indices of negative
intrathoracic pressure, or the frequency of sleep-related breathing disorders were related to …

Recent objective studies demonstrate relatively low hours of nightly use during nasal
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) …

Previous studies have demonstrated that lung volume during wakefulness influences upper
airway size and resistance, particularly in patients with sleep apnea. We sought to determine …

Rationale: Measures of unstable ventilatory control (loop gain) can be obtained directly from
the periodic breathing duty ratio on polysomnography in patients with Cheyne-Stokes …

Positive airway pressure (PAP) devices are used to treat patients with sleep related
breathing disorders (SRBDs), including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). After a patient is …

Daytime pulmonary hypertension (PH) is relatively common in obstructive sleep apnea
(OSA) and is thought to be associated with pulmonary vascular remodeling (PRm). The …

Background: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is effective therapy for the
obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Automatic CPAP devices continuously adjust the …

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is an accepted and highly effective method
used in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We have explored the potential …
