Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of Adult Obstructive Sleep Apnea with Positive Airway Pressure: An American Academy of Sleep Medicine Clinical Practice Guideline
Susheel P. Patil,Indu Ayappa,Sean M. Caples,R. John Kimoff,Sanjay R. Patel,Christopher G. Harrod +5 more
TL;DR: This guideline establishes clinical practice recommendations for positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults and is intended for use in conjunction with other American Academy of Sleep Medicine guidelines in the evaluation and treatment of sleep-disordered breathing in adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of Adult Obstructive Sleep Apnea With Positive Airway Pressure: An American Academy of Sleep Medicine Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and GRADE Assessment.
Susheel P. Patil,Indu Ayappa,Sean M. Caples,R. John Kimoff,Sanjay R. Patel,Christopher G. Harrod +5 more
TL;DR: PAP compared to no treatment results in a clinically significant reduction in disease severity, sleepiness, blood pressure, and motor vehicle accidents, and improvement in sleep-related quality of life in adults with OSA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of flow limitation with a nasal cannula/pressure transducer system.
TL;DR: The data show that development of a plateau on the inspiratory flow signal from a nasal cannula identifies increased upper airway resistance and the presence of flow limitation in patients with symptoms of excessive daytime somnolence and low AHI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep-disordered breathing advances cognitive decline in the elderly
Ricardo S. Osorio,Tyler Gumb,Elizabeth Pirraglia,Andrew W. Varga,Shou-En Lu,Jason Lim,Margaret E. Wohlleber,Emma L. Ducca,Viachaslau Koushyk,Lidia Glodzik,Lisa Mosconi,Indu Ayappa,David M. Rapoport,Mony J. de Leon +13 more
TL;DR: The findings in CPAP+ participants suggest that CPAP treatment of SDB may delay progression of cognitive impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI
The upper airway in sleep: physiology of the pharynx.
Indu Ayappa,David M. Rapoport +1 more
TL;DR: Outcomes research to define which events are most important, and a better understanding of how events lead to physiologic consequences of the syndrome will allow physiologic testing to objectively differentiate between "normal" subjects and those with disease.
