Hearing Function in Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) patients and its impact with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)
… for OSA is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), a device that splints the airway with positive pressure. The positive pressure could potentially aerate the eustachian tube and thereby alter middle ear function. Aim: To comprehensively evaluate peripheral hearing function through a battery …

A Comparative Effectiveness Study of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Related Skin Breakdown when using Different Nasal Interfaces in the Extremely Low Birth Weight (ELBW) Neonate
Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is reportedly superior to mechanical ventilation in the neonatal population by reducing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The neonate is vulnerable to injury secondary to immature physiological systems and skin structures and the current CPAP devices …
