Abstract
PURPOSE: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is indicated for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Titration is manual during level 1 polysomnography or by automatic CPAP devices (autoCPAP) where fixed CPAP is chosen from autoCPAP data, provided the residual apnea-hypopnea index (R-AHI) is acceptable. Accuracy of R-AHI from autoCPAP has not been well-studied in unmonitored conditions, yet these titrations are typically unattended. This study compares R-AHI scored by Respironics Remstar AutoCPAP to R-AHI scored manually on simultaneous level 3 polysomnography in OSA.
