Summary

Our group has recently found that the choice of positive airway pressure mask can significantly affect the pressure required to adequately treat sleep disordered breathing. The goal of this study is to visualize the upper airway in the retropalatal and retroglossal region while using both oronasal and nasal masks with CPAP in order to investigate differences in upper airway dynamics that may occur between these two mask types.

Conditions

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

Interventions

DEVICE

Nasal and Oronasal PAP Mask

Subjects will be imaged via MRI wearing a nasal and oronasal PAP mask at 5, 10 and 15 cm H20.
