Treatment with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Is Not Effective in Patients with Sleep Apnea but No Daytime Sleepiness
Ferran Barbé,Lola R. Mayoralas,Joaquín Durán,Juan F. Masa,Andreu Maimó,Josep M. Montserrat,Carmen Monasterio,M. Bosch,Antoni Ladaria,Manuela Rubio,Ramón G. Rubio,Magdalena Medinas,Lourdes Hernández,Silvia Vidal,Neil J. Douglas,Alvar Agusti +15 more
TL;DR: In patients with an apnea-hypopnea index of 30 or greater and no subjective daytime sleepiness, continuous positive airway pressure did not modify quality of life, objective sleepiness or vigilance as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Is Not Effective in Patients with Sleep Apnea but No Daytime Sleepiness: A Randomized, Controlled Trial
Ferran Barbé,Lola R. Mayoralas,Joaquín Durán,Juan F. Masa,Andreu Maimó,Josep M. Montserrat,Carmen Monasterio,M. Bosch,Antoni Ladaria,Manuela Rubio,Ramón G. Rubio,Magdalena Medinas,Lourdes Hernández,Silvia Vidal,Neil J. Douglas,Alvar Agusti +15 more
TL;DR: The available evidence supports the notion that CPAP is an effective symptomatic treatment for patients with the sleep apneahypopnea syndrome, and a multicenter randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study was designed to evaluate the short-term effects of CPAP on quality of life, objective sleepiness, cognitive function, and arterial blood pressure in nonsleepy patients with a pathologic apnehypopna index.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ferran Barbé,Joaquín Durán-Cantolla,Francisco Capote,Mónica de la Peña,Eusebi Chiner,Juan F. Masa,Mónica González,Jose M. Marin,Francisco García-Río,Josefa Diaz de Atauri,Joaquín Terán,Mercedes Mayos,Carmen Monasterio,Félix del Campo,Sivia Gomez,Manuel Sánchez de la Torre,M. Martínez,Jose M. Montserrat +17 more
TL;DR: In nonsleepy hypertensive patients with OSA, CPAP treatment for 1 year is associated with a small decrease in BP, and this effect is evident only in patients who use CPAP for more than 5.6 hours per night.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alternative methods of titrating continuous positive airway pressure: a large multicenter study.
Juan F. Masa,Antonio León Jiménez,Joaquín Durán,Francisco Capote,Carmen Monasterio,Mercedes Mayos,Joaquín Terán,Lourdes Hernández,Ferran Barbé,Andrés Maimó,Manuela Rubio,Jose M. Montserrat +11 more
TL;DR: Autoadjusted titration at home and predicted formula titration with domiciliary adjustment can replace standard titration in sleep apnea patients, which could lead to considerable savings in cost and to significant reductions in the waiting list.
