ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) constitutes the most effective treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Automatic titration systems (ATS) are predominantly used to achieve adaptation to the equipment. Home CPAP devices allow telemonitoring (TM) of the same parameters as those provided by ATS but with access to continuous usage data. Under this premise, we conducted a study on the potential validity of TM for home CPAP devices as a titration system, its direct impact on proper adaptation (AD) to the equipment, and secondarily on the healthcare resources employed to achieve it. Material andmethods:
An observational study involving 318 patients with OSA who were titrated using TM to achieve AD to CPAP. Patients with OSA were consecutively recruited and evaluated at 1, 3, and 6 months after initiating treatment. Results were compared with a historical group of 307 patients with OSA who achieved AD to CPAP using ATS. Additionally, we assessed the impact on required healthcare resources.Results:
Patients with OSA who initiated CPAP treatment with TM over the first six months showed a similar AD rate compared to the historical group titrated using ATS, with lower resource usage in the TM group.Conclusion:
Data provided by TM of home CPAP devices allow for titration and achieving similar AD as with ATS in non-complex patients.
