Pilot Study of the Comparison of the Upper Airway Dynamics of Oronasal vs Nasal Masks With Positive Airway Pressure Treatment
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Nasal and Oronasal PAP Mask for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Completed, enrolled 10 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Our group has recently found that the choice of positive airway pressure mask can significantly affect the pressure required to adequately treat sleep disordered breathing. The goal of this study is to visualize the upper airway in the retropalatal and retroglossal region while using both oronasal and nasal masks with CPAP in order to investigate differences in upper airway dynamics that may occur between these two mask types.
