Brief Summary

The obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects between 10% to 25% of the adults. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the first choice of treatment in severe OSA. However, the adherence to CPAP varies, and the interface between patient and the CPAP may interfere with adherence, comfort and efficiency as well as in sleep variables. Objectives: (1) to determine if self-reported airflow route (nasal or oronasal airflow) is the same as the route determined in a laboratory analysis in controls (healthy subjects) and severe OSA patients with nasal free airflow of obstruction during asleep and awake, (2) to compare the effects of nasal and oronasal CPAP titration (randomized order of masks, 14 days apart) on apnoea-hypopnoea index, CPAP level, PSG variables - including analysis for body positioning, the airway defense mechanisms (nasal mucociliary clearance, mucus properties, citology and inflammation in nasal lavage fluid) and systemic effects (serum miRNA expression and cytokines), (3) CPAP adherence after 1 month and 12 months.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes in Apnea-Hypopnea Index

    A full-night diagnostic polysomnography (PSG) was performed in each subject to determine the stages of sleep, an electroencephalogram, electro-oculogram and electromyogram of the submentalis muscle were obtained. Peripheric blood oxygenation was recorded with the use of a finger pulse oximeter. Thoracoabdominal excursions were measured qualitatively using respiratory effort sensors placed over the ribcage and abdomen. Snoring was detected with a vibration snore sensor and body posture with a body position sensor. Subjects used a molded single-piece translucent silicone rubber mask. During titration, a mask with CPAP was added and the procedure was performed according to AASM guidelines.

    Baseline (Time 0), after CPAP titration with nasal and oronasal mask (one night with wash out of two weeks) and after 30-day period of treatment

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Airway inflammation by exhaled breath condensate pH

    Participants will be assessed at baseline (Time 0), nasal CPAP, oronasal CPAP and after 30-day CPAP treatment (30 days)

  • Nasal mucociliary clearance by saccharine transit time

    Participants were assessed at at baseline (Time 0), nasal CPAP, oronasal CPAP and after 30-day CPAP treatment (30 days)

  • Nasal inflammation by pH, citology and cytokines and adhesion molecules in nasal lavage

    Participants were assessed at baseline (Time 0) and after nasal titration, oronasal titration and CPAP treatment (30 days)

  • Sleep quality by Pittsburg Questionnaire

    Participants will be assessed at at baseline (Time 0) and after CPAP treatment (30 days)

  • Upper airways symptoms by SNOT20 questionnaire

    Participants will be assessed at at baseline (Time 0) and CPAP treatment (30 days)

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (4)

  • Cytokines, adhesion molecules and miRNAs in serum

    Participants will be assessed at at baseline (Time 0) and CPAP treatment (30 days)

  • adherence to CPAP

    1 and 12 months

  • CPAP level

    CPAP titration with nasal and oronasal mask (one full night for each mask )

  • +1 more other outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Nasal CPAP during titration

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Group nasal mask: use of CPAP for one night whit wash out of two weeks

Device: Nasal CPAP

Oronasal CPAP during titration

EXPERIMENTAL

Group oronasal mask: use of CPAP for one night with wash out of two weeks.

Device: Oronasal CPAP

Interventions

use of nasal mask to titrate CPAP during a manual full night: if nasal mask is the best interface during titration compared with oronasal mask - patients will go 30-day period of treatment

Also known as: Nasal mask
