Summary

Patients who have Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) may have different Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)when titrated with different levels of humidification. It is hypothesised that patients with ThermoSmart® technology (heated breathing tube technology) will have lower titrated pressures than those who are titrated using conventional humidification (non heated breathing tube).

Conditions

  • Sleep Apnea, Obstructive

Interventions

DEVICE

Heated breathing tube (CPAP with ThermoSmart)

CPAP with ThermoSmart - heated passover humidifier, with heated breathing tube

DEVICE

Non heated breathing tube (CPAP with conventional humidification)

CPAP with conventional humidification - heated passover humidifier, no heated breathing tube
