Study Objectives: To compare in a multicenter prospective study the efficacy and cost of conventional nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) initiated at the sleep laboratory versus auto-nCPAP initiated at home.
Design: Patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) were randomized to treatment with either the REM+ auto device in constant mode at the effective pressure determined by titration at the sleep laboratory (n=17) or the REM+ auto device in automatic mode initiated at the patients home by a nurse (n=18). After 2 months, the efficacy and cost of nCPAP therapy and the time from diagnosis to nCPAP were evaluated. All values are reported as means +/- SD.
Patients: Thirty-five subjects with newly diagnosed OSAS (8 women and 27 men, mean age: 54.3 +/- 10.6 years, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) 58.1 +/- 14.0 h(-1)).
Interventions: N/A.
Measurements And Results: Both treatments were used properly and induced similar decreases in the AHI (7.6 +/- 6.9 vs. 10.4 +/ -12.5 h(-1) for auto-nCPAP and conventional nCPAP, respectively; NS) and Epworth Sleepiness score (from 15.5 +/- 4.7 to 7.5 +/- 3.4 vs. 14.7 +/- 3.9 to 7.6 +/- 3.4 for auto-nCPAP and conventional nCPAP, respectively; NS). With auto-nCPAP initiated at home, the time from diagnosis to final adjustment of nCPAP was shorter (16.3 +/- 5.0 vs. 47.2 +/- 46.5 days with conventional nCPAP, P < 0.02) and the cost was lower (1,263 +/- 352 vs. 1720+/-455 E, respectively; P < 0.05).
Conclusions: Treatment of OSAS with auto-nCPAP initiated at home is effective and reliable and reduces the time from diagnosis to therapy and the cost of treatment.

Effect of different ventilation modalities on the early prognosis of patients with sleep apnea after acute ischemic stroke---protocol for a prospective, open-label and randomised controlled trial.
BMC Neurol
June 2023
Department of Emergency Medicine, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on comparing the effectiveness of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy to nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) and usual care for treating sleep apnea in patients after acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
- - It will involve 150 patients in a randomized controlled trial, observing their tolerance to the different ventilation methods and tracking outcomes like mortality, infection rates, and overall stroke recovery.
- - The goal is to determine if HFNC or nCPAP can improve survival rates and neurological recovery compared to standard care in the early stages post-stroke.
Effect of the change of mechanical ventilation mode on cerebral oxygen saturation level in neonates.

Children's Center, Beijing Luhe Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Background: This study aimed to apply near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to monitor cerebral oxygen saturation (SrO) level in neonates before and after the change of mechanical ventilation mode, and thus, the effects of the change of mechanical ventilator mode on SrO level in neonates were assessed.
Methods: This trial was designed as an observational study .A total of 70 neonates who were admitted to the Department of Neonatology of Beijing Luhe Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University (Beijing, China) between September 2019 and October 2021 and required respiratory support were included.

Background: Neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome (NARDS) was defined in 2017 and the epidemiological data remain unknown. Our objective was to explore aetiological factors, clinical characteristics and outcomes in patients with perinatal NARDS.
Methods: A multicentre, prospective, cross-sectional study was performed in 58 tertiary neonatal intensive care units in China from Jan 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019.

Background: Oxygen therapy is one of the most common treatments for bronchiolitis, But traditional standard oxygen therapy is poorly tolerated by patients. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) also has many contraindications. High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), as a new method of adjunctive respiratory support, has received extensive attention in oxygen therapy in pediatric.

Objectives: To compare the treatment efficacy of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in the treatment of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) and its effect on the expression of high-mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1).
Methods: A total of 180 infants with NRDS admitted to our hospital were included and randomly assigned into the HFOV group (receiving conventional therapy and HFOV), the NCPAP group (receiving conventional therapy and NCPAP), and the conventional group (receiving conventional therapy). Qi and blood indicators, heart rate, respiratory frequency, PCO, and PaO were observed and recorded before and after treatment, together with complications after treatment.
