About this study

Official title: Postoperative Management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea With CPAP vs. an Autoadjusting CPAP Device: a Randomized Controlled Single Center Trial

The purpose of this study is to determine if an Autoadjusting CPAP machine is better than the regular CPAP machine in treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in the postoperative setting.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine if an Autoadjusting CPAP machine is better than the regular CPAP machine in treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in the postoperative setting.

Patients with known Obstructive Sleep Apnea who are on CPAP therapy at home and undergo an elective surgery (meeting specified inclusion and exclusion criteria) will be randomized to either using Autoadjusting CPAP vs their usual CPAP at their prescribed settings the night after surgery. During that night, they will be monitored with full polysomnography in their hospital bed.

Being tested
Autoadjusting CPAP (VPAP Auto), CPAP
Keywords
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome, OSA, Postoperative, CPAP
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Autoadjusting CPAP (VPAP Auto)Device

    Also called VPAP Auto

    An autoadjusting CPAP unit is used in place of subject's own CPAP unit during the night of the polysomnography study (the first night after surgery).

  • CPAPDevice

    Subject's own CPAP unit is applied to the subject during the polysomnography study night (the first night after surgery)

Study groups in NCT00588848
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Autoadjusting CPAP (VPAP auto)ExperimentalThe intervention will be the use of an Autoadjusting CPAP unit that will be applied to the subject during the 8 hours overnight the first night after surgery (study night). During this time, they will undergo a full night attended polysomnogram in their hospital room.
Receives: Device: Autoadjusting CPAP (VPAP Auto)
CPAP arm (usual care)Active comparatorThe intervention will be the use of the subject's own CPAP machine and this will be applied to the subject during the 8 hours overnight the first after surgery (study night). During the study night, they will undergo full polysomnography in their hospital room.
Receives: Device: CPAP

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sleep Related Hypoxemia

    Measured: On postoperative night number 1 from 2200 to 0600. Study participation will end within 72 hours of admission.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI)

    Events are defined as apneas and hypopneas. AHI values are typically categorized as 5-14.9 events/hr = mild; 15-29.9 events/hr = moderate; and >= 30 events/hr = severe

    Measured: On postoperative night number 1 from 2200 to 0600. Study participation will end within 72 hours of admission.

  2. Cardiopulmonary Complications

    Predefined cardiopulmonary complications: Myocardial Infarction, Arrhythmia, new onset Heart Failure, Stroke

    Measured: 72 hours

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sleep Related Hypoxemia (time frame: On postoperative night number 1 from 2200 to 0600. Study participation will end within 72 hours of admission.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00588848, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
