Here we tested a device designed to improve CPAP comfort through reducing IPAP (-Com) to determine if such a reduction in IPAP could eliminate central apneas in patients with TECSA. Since increasing tidal volume (potentially via IPAP increments) has been suggested as a possible mechanism contributing to TECSA onset, our hypothesis was that reducing IPAP would yield a drop in the central apnea index (CAI).

- * The study involved characterizing both free and immobilized forms of the enzyme, with optimal activity found at 37°C and pH 7.0, and a specific immobilization method proving to be more effective.
- * Results demonstrated that the alginate lyase could both inhibit the formation of and disrupt existing biofilms, indicating its potential efficacy in treating infections caused by P. aeruginosa.
