Aerobic Exercise Training and Nasal CPAP Therapy: Adaptations in Cardiovascular Function in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
… was to evaluate the extent that treatment with nCPAP alone, or combined with a moderate aerobic exercise training program impacted markers of hemodynamic function (results not reported here). Methods: Eleven newly diagnosed OSA patients [5 male, 6 female; age: 46.5 + 12.0 yrs; respiratory …

CARDIAC AUTONOMIC CONTROL DURING SLEEP IN PATIENTS WITH MULTIPLE SYSTEM ATROPHY: A PILOT STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF CPAP THERAPY
… and to assess the acute autonomic effects of CPAP therapy during the second night in patients with SDB. Methods We retrospectively analyzed v‐PSG recordings from MSA patients who underwent evaluation over two consecutive nights at the Pitié Salpêtrière Hospital (Paris). Heart rate (HR), K2, …

Physiological Responses in OSA Patients to Ramping Exercise After CPAP Treatment
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the primary therapy administered for those afflicted with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We examined the effects of CPAP therapy on physiological variables during a ramped exercise. The five male, OSA patients had mean values and standard deviations for …

A Tailored Sleep Behavior Change Support System to Promote the Use of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Machines: Theorizing the Solution
<p>Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines are the most effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Despite the reported benefits of CPAP machines in treating OSA, its effectiveness is reduced by less-than-optimal adherence or use. Up to 50% of patients who accept CPAP …

The relationship between circulating biomarkers of nitric oxide and endothelin-1 and hemodynamic function in obstructive sleep apnea
… 12 wk of continuous partial airway pressure (CPAP) therapy were used to assess standard treatment. Mild/moderate exercise training was initiated with CPAP therapy in a subgroup of OSA patients to evaluate the potential benefits of physical activity on hemodynamic function and NO and ET-1 …

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 …

A review of the use of high flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy in hospitalized children at a regional hospital in the Cape Town Metro, South Africa
… to nasal continuous positive pressure oxygen (CPAP) therapy for infants and children requiring respiratory support. There is a paucity of literature to support its use in children, with no published data from sub-Saharan Africa. Objective: To describe the outcomes and adverse events of HFNC in …

Psychological Factors Influencing Adherence to Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Patients
… on society. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is widely acknowledged as the best available treatment for moderate to severe OSA. CPAP treatment has been linked to reduced co-morbidities as well as improved quality of life. However, adherence to CPAP therapy is a major obstacle to …

Physical activity, sedentary behaviour and cardiometabolic disease risk among adults living with obstructive sleep apnoea: Is there a case for exercise as an adjunct therapy?
… base for the role of exercise as an adjunct therapy for OSA patients, we would ultimately like to design and implement an exercise intervention, particularly in the public healthcare setting in South Africa where access to CPAP therapy is constrained. Due to the paucity of data for patients …
