Inspiratory Flow Limitation: Comparison of the C-Flex System versus Conventional Therapy - A Pilot Study. Inspiratorische Flusslimitationen: Vergleich des C-Flex-Systems gegen eine konventionelle CPAP-Therapie - eine Pilotstudie

Abstract: Question of the study Compliance with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) treatment may be reduced due to difficulties when exhaling against a positive pressure. A recently introduced CPAP system therefore lowers the expiratory pressure proportional to the patient's airflow. To evaluate the theoretical concern that this might induce flow limitations during inspiration, we measured the occurrence of flow limitation during sleep. Patients and methods Eight subjects with treated obstructive sleep ap… Show more
