Aim.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) masks are a key factor in patient compliance.
This program assessed the performance of a new nasal pillows mask (NPM) on a variety of new and established obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients using CPAP therapy.
Methods.
Five programs were developed to assess the new NPM [AirFit P10, ResMed] on naïve patients; patients established on another NPM; patients using a nasal mask; patients with low CPAP compliance; and patients who wished to stop using CPAP therapy.
Results.
A total of 212 patients were included.
In naïve patients, CPAP usage after 3 months was 5.9 ± 1.7 hours/night, compared with the control group at 4.6 ± 2.4 hours/night ( p < 0.05 ).
In patients established on another NPM, usage improved to 7.4 ± 1.1 hours/night versus 6.7 ± 1.4 ( p = 0.001 ).
78% of nasal mask users wished to continue using the new NPM.
Low compliance patients improved with an average of 0.87 hours/night ( p = 0.001 ) when using the new NPM.
In patients at the point of quitting CPAP, 60% continued with therapy using the new NPM.
Conclusion.
The new NPM mask performed well in a variety of clinical groups of OSA patients receiving CPAP therapy and shows that technical advances in CPAP masks can improve patient compliance.
