Impact of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure on Breathing Motion Amplitude

NCT02852473 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: EARLY_PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

Summary

This study involves a breathing motion assessment in healthy subjects before and after continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) administration using MRI images.

The hypothesis for this study is that CPAP administration will significantly reduce breathing motion. This may help cancer patients who are undergoing proton radiotherapy, so they possibly will not have to hold their breath during the procedure.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

CPAP requires subjects to wear a plastic pressurized mask/apparatus, which is connected via a filter and hose to a pump capable of supplying variable pressure (typically on the range of 4-20 cm H2O). The investigators plan to use a full-face mask to prevent subjects from reducing pressure by opening their mouths. If this cannot be tolerated or properly fitted, or is not compatible with the CPAP ventilator, subjects would use a nasal mask only and be asked to keep their mouths closed.
