Journal ArticleDOI
Poor long-term patient compliance with the tennis ball technique for treating positional obstructive sleep apnea.
James J. Bignold,Georgina Deans-Costi,Mitchell R. Goldsworthy,Claire A. Robertson,D McEvoy,D McEvoy,Peter Catcheside,Peter Catcheside,Jeremy Mercer +8 more
TL;DR: Long-term patient compliance with TBT appears to be very poor, with less than 10% of patients reporting continued use approximately 30 months after prescription, with most TBT non-compliers reporting it to be too uncomfortable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accurate position monitoring and improved supine-dependent obstructive sleep apnea with a new position recording and supine avoidance device
TL;DR: This new position monitoring and supine alarm device records sleep position accurately and improves OSA but not snoring in patients with supine-predominant OSA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insomniacs' perception of wake instead of sleep.
TL;DR: Insomniacs' underestimation of total sleep time is the product of prior sleep being misperceived as wake time upon awakening overnight, and this misperception may play a role in the perpetuation of insomnia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Central Sleep Apnea on Commencement of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Patients With a Primary Diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea
Sanaz Lehman,Nick A. Antic,Nick A. Antic,C Thompson,Peter Catcheside,Jeremy Mercer,R. Doug McEvoy,R. Doug McEvoy +7 more
TL;DR: A significant minority of patients with a primary diagnosis of OSAH have either emergence or persistence of CSA on CPAP, and risk factors include male sex, history of cardiac disease, and C SA on baseline PSG.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noninvasive cardiovascular markers of acoustically induced arousal from non-rapid-eye-movement sleep.
TL;DR: Decreases in skin vascular conductance (finger PWA and SBF) provide sensitive markers of autonomic arousal during sleep and are at least as sensitive as PTT for detecting conventionally scored EEG arousals and may be more sensitive in detecting "subcortical" arousals.
