Automated Graduated CPAP (AGPAP) for Improved Adherence in Newly Diagnosed OSA Patients: Multicenter Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating REMstar Auto A-Flex and modified REMstar Auto A-Flex with AGPAP for Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Completed, enrolled 241 participants across 5 sites.
Detailed Summary
Although positive airway pressure (PAP) is a highly effective treatment for sleep apnea, adherence to therapy remains an obstacle. Automated Graduated CPAP (AGPAP), also know as EZ-start, is an extended duration ramp, where the patient receives pressure below their prescription during an acclimation phase. The algorithm gradually increases pressure to therapy level based on usage. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the AGPAP acclimation period and its impact on short term adherence.
