Olfactory Function in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Using Positive Airway Pressure

Abstract: Previous studies reported that positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment may improve olfaction function in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) through various mechanisms. Olfactory function before and after PAP treatment is understudied regarding patient group at issue. The aim of this study is to investigate the contribution of PAP to olfactory function in patients with OSA. The study was conducted on 26 patients with OSA (10 females and 16 males, mean age 50.1 [9.3] years) who scheduled for PAP treatm… Show more

“…Most of our patients, even without having been admitted to an intensive care unit for invasive ventilation, experienced severe acute respiratory failure: it is possible that chemosensory impairment could at least partly be considered as a consequence of the impaired respiratory function [9,10].…”

“…In OSA, disorders of olfaction have been characterized as well, with the degree of olfactory disturbance correlating with the severity of disease [24]. Furthermore, there is improvement in olfaction after therapy with OSA [25], demonstrating that olfactory pathways maybe early sites of involvement with both diseases.…”
