Validation of Sleep Apnea Diagnosis Device

Sleep Apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common and largely underdiagnosed disease. The standard method for the diagnosis of OSA is a complete night polysomnography (PSG). Simple methods for OSA diagnosis are necessary. The overnight oximetry with the oxygen desaturation index (ODI) has been largely investigated as a diagnostic test for OSA but its accuracy remains undefined. The aim of our study is to evaluate if an wireless polygraph (Oxistar) is accurate to diagnosis OSA in patients referred to a Sleep Lab.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver DiseaseSleep Apnea1 more

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are frequently encountered in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS). Several data suggest that OSA per se could be a risk factor of liver injury. Most previous studies evaluating the association between OSA severity and the severity of NAFLD used indirect markers of NAFLD including liver imaging or liver injury blood markers or have been performed in morbidly obese patients undergoing intraoperative needle liver biopsy during bariatric surgery. The current study propose to investigate with a full night polysomnography consecutive patients undergoing percutaneous liver biopsy for suspected NAFLD.

Comparison of the New Algorithm of STOP-Bang in the Detection of Severe OSA Patients

ApneaSleep

The aim of this study was to compare the ability of clinical scores (P-SAP, OSA50, DES-OSA, STOP-Bang with former algorithm, and STOP-Bang with new algorithm).

Oxygen Monitoring of Patients After Surgery on the Hospital General Care Floor

Sleep Disordered Breathing

The pain medication given after major surgery may cause some patients to stop breathing for periods of time especially at night time. An oxygen monitor may reflect this abnormal breathing pattern. This is an observational study of 100 post-operative patients who will be monitored with a pulse oximeter for a minimum of two nights and a maximum of five nights to determine the prevalence of this abnormal breathing pattern.

Sleep ApneaGastroesophageal Reflux Disease

This trial is enrolling patients who are already being seen at OHSU weight loss clinic or have been referred for clinical reasons by their physician to the OHSU weight loss clinic and are going to have a esophageal manometry that would be paid for by their insurance company for clinical reasons. In patients undergoing weight loss surgery investigators plan to study the effect of continuous positive airway pressure during a esophageal manometry.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition in which people have decreased breathing during their sleep. Untreated sleep apnea has been linked to increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. This research study is looking at blood clotting factors and blood vessel function in health volunteers and patients with newly diagnosed or untreated obstructive sleep apnea to better understand the underlying mechanisms for increased cardiovascular risk.

Heated Humidified Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and Nasal Physiology

Obstructive Sleep Apnea SyndromeNasal Obstruction

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure can cause nasal side effects which can compromise compliance to therapy. Humidifiers can attenuate this effect. However, the mechanism by which humidified CPAP alleviates nasal symptoms has never been assessed objectively in OSA patients. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the effect of humidified CPAP on nasal airway physiology with combined measurements of nasal resistance and level of inflammatory markers. The investigators' hypothesis is that the addition of heated humidification in CPAP decreases nasal airway resistance and nasal mucosal inflammation markers and thus, ameliorates nasal symptoms of OSAS patients.
