Objective. To systematically review the international literature for mathematical equations
used to predict effective pressures for positive airway pressure (PAP) devices. Methods …

In moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), the use of Continuous
Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard therapy. In the last decade, new …

Introduction Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder requiring the
time/money consuming polysomnography for diagnosis. Alternative methods for initial …

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is often treated with autotitrating continuous positive airway
pressure (autoCPAP) devices. Clinical and bench tests of these devices have suggested …

Background There has been uncertainty until recently whether OSA, is sufficient to cause
persistent daytime pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular dysfunction. Objectives The …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common and, with the increase in obesity in both adults
and children, its prevalence is increasing. Substantial evidence shows that OSA is …

Background Several formulas predicting optimal continuous positive airway pressure
(CPAP) for obstructive sleep apnea treatment have been developed and diverse parameters …

In the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the current standard of “CPAP titration” in
the laboratory or at home is a resource demanding and costly approach that, in developed …

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the most effective treatment of obstructive
sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). The therapeutic level of CPAP is achieved by …

Background Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the elective treatment of
obstructive sleep apnea. The therapeutic level of CPAP is generally established by manual …
