Reducing Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure (IPAP) below Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP) may improve comfort and potentially compliance. The goal of this quality control evaluation was to determine if reducing IPAP below EPAP using the V-Com™ device maintained efficacy as assessed by the residual Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI), P90%/P95% pressure requirements, usage time and leak. Methods: We reduced IPAP below EPAP by adding non-compensated resistance (V-Com™) to the AutoPAP (APAP) circuit in patients with uncomplicated OSA. Four consecutive nights of data were collected with and without the V̇- Com™. Objective parameters obtained from the APAP devices over these 8 days included AHI, usage time, leak, pressure settings, and P90%/P95% pressures. Results: There were 62 (34 male) patients in phase 1 (17 React Health Luna II, 22 Phillips-Respironics DreamStation 2, 23 ResMed AirSense 10 or 11 devices) and 40 (22 male) patients in phase 2 (ResMed AirSense 10 or 11 devices). The mean (SD) AHI decreased from 2.15 (2.35)/hour without the V-Com™ compared to 1.79 (1.74)/hour with the V-Com™ and 1.21 (1.06) to 0.97 (0.82)/hour in phases 1 and 2 respectively. Conclusions: Our results indicate that reducing IPAP below EPAP with the V-Com™ device during APAP use provided equivalent therapy and did not interfere with the algorithms of the APAP devices. In addition, the V-Com™ device decreased the AHI, reduced leak and increased usage time without adversely affecting P90%/P95%pressures."> <meta name="citation_abstract_html_url"

Objective parameters obtained from the APAP devices over these 8 days included AHI, usage time, leak, pressure settings, and P90%/P95% pressures. </p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>There were 62 (34 male) patients in phase 1 (17 React Health Luna II, 22 Phillips-Respironics DreamStation 2, 23 ResMed AirSense 10 or 11 devices) and 40 (22 male) patients in phase 2 (ResMed AirSense 10 or 11 devices). The mean (SD) AHI decreased from 2.15 (2.35)/hour without the V-Com™ compared to 1.79 (1.74)/hour with the V-Com™ and 1.21 (1.06) to 0.97 (0.82)/hour in phases 1 and 2 respectively.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Our results indicate that reducing IPAP below EPAP with the V-Com™ device during APAP use provided equivalent therapy and did not interfere with the algorithms of the APAP devices. In addition, the V-Com™ device decreased the AHI, reduced leak and increased usage time without adversely affecting P90%/P95%pressures.</p> <div class="alert alert-info text-left"><b>Clause de non-responsabilit茅:</b> Ce r茅sum茅 a 茅t茅 traduit 脿 l'aide d'outils d'intelligence artificielle et n'a pas encore 茅t茅 r茅vis茅 ou v茅rifi茅.</div> <div class="nav social-icons"> <a class="nav-link w-auto">Partagez cet article</a> <a title="Cliquez ici" target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://french.longdom.org/abstract/reducing-inspiratory-positive-airway-pressure-ipap-to-treat-obstructive-sleep-apnea-provides-equivalent-therapy-improves-107496.html" rel="noopener"><i class="fab fa-facebook-f"></i></a> <a class="nav-link" title="Cliquez ici" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/share?url=https://french.longdom.org/abstract/reducing-inspiratory-positive-airway-pressure-ipap-to-treat-obstructive-sleep-apnea-provides-equivalent-therapy-improves-107496.html" rel="noopener"><i class="fab fa-twitter"></i></a> <a class="nav-link" title="Cliquez ici" target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://french.longdom.org/abstract/reducing-inspiratory-positive-airway-pressure-ipap-to-treat-obstructive-sleep-apnea-provides-equivalent-therapy-improves-107496.html" rel="noopener"><i class="fab fa-linkedin-in"></i></a> <a class="nav-link" title="Cliquez ici" target="_blank" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://french.longdom.org/abstract/reducing-inspiratory-positive-airway-pressure-ipap-to-treat-obstructive-sleep-apnea-provides-equivalent-therapy-improves-107496.html" rel="noopener"><i class="fab fa-google-plus-g"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <footer class="bg-blue-grey-900 py-3"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-4"> <h4 class="white font-size-4 fweight-400 border-bottom-1 pb-2">Liens de contenu</h4> <ul class="list-unstyled footer-links font-size-3"> <li><a class="" href="https://french.longdom.org/privacy-policy.html" title="Cliquez ici">politique de confidentialit茅</a></li> <li><a class="" href="https://french.longdom.org/terms-conditions.html" title="Cliquez ici">termes et conditions</a></li> <li><a class="" href="https://french.longdom.org/authors-reviewers-editors.html" title="Cliquez ici">Auteurs, critiques et 茅diteur</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-12 col-sm-4"> <h4 class="white font-size-4 fweight-400 border-bottom-1 pb-2">Contacter Longdom</h4> <p><strong>Groupe Longdom SA</strong><br /> Avenue Roger Vandendriessche,<br /> 18, 1150 Bruxelles, Belgique<br /> T茅l茅phone : +442038085340<br /> <strong>Courriel :</strong> <a class="white" href="mailto:info@longdom.org" title="Cliquez ici">info@longdom.org</a></p> </div> <div class="col-12 col-sm-4"> <h4 class="white font-size-4 fweight-400 border-bottom-1 pb-2">Connecter</h4> <nav class="nav nav-pills social-icons-footer flex-column a-pl-0"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/longdompublisher" title="Cliquez ici" target="_blank" class="nav-link bg-facebook-hover"><i class="fab fa-facebook-f bg-facebook"></i></a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/longdom-publishing-sl/" title="Cliquez ici" target="_blank" class="nav-link bg-linkedin-hover"><i class="fab fa-linkedin-in bg-linkedin"></i></a> <a href="https://twitter.com/LongdomP" title="Cliquez ici" target="_blank" class="nav-link bg-twitter-hover"><i class="fab fa-twitter bg-twitter"></i></a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/longdom_publisher/" title="Cliquez ici" target="_blank" class="nav-link bg-instagram-hover"><i class="fab fa-instagram bg-instagram"></i></a> </nav> </div> </div> <div class="row text-center"> <div class="col"> <p>droits d auteur © 2024 <a href="https://french.longdom.org/" title="Cliquez ici" class="white">Longdom 脡ditions SL</a>.</p> </div> </div> </div> </footer>  <a href="#0" class="cd-top js-cd-top">Top</a>   <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.14.7/umd/popper.min.js"></script> <script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>  <script> jQuery(function($) { $(window).scroll(function fix_element() { $('#target').css( $(window).scrollTop() > 100 ?
