Abstract EN
Objectives/Background.
Improving adherence to CPAP devices is crucial to reduce the long-term morbidity associated with OSA.
SensAwake is a unique pressure relief technology that aims to promptly reduce the pressure upon sensing irregular respiration indicative of wakefulness.
The purpose of this study was to compare adherence and sleep-quality outcomes in patients treated by CPAP with and without SensAwake technology.
Methods.
Participants with moderate-to-severe OSA were randomized to use CPAP devices with or without SensAwake (4 weeks) before crossing over.
Results.
Sixty-five patients completed both arms of the trial.
There were no statistically significant differences in CPAP adherence with or without SensAwake over the study period (SensAwake ON 272.67±17.06 versus SensAwake OFF 289.09±15.24; p=0.180).
SensAwake reported a significantly lower system leak, 90th percentile leak, and time spent with excessive (>60 L/min) leak.
Subgroup analysis suggested a trend towards improved adherence in patients with moderate-to-severe insomnia when using SensAwake.
Conclusions.
Using SensAwake incurred benefit in terms of reduced leaks; however, SensAwake did not improve CPAP adherence or objective sleep quality.
Further studies should investigate the accuracy of observed trends towards increased adherence using SensAwake among patients with OSA and insomnia.
