Assessing the Validity of Airway Occlusion Techniques to Assess Inspiratory Effort During Noninvasive Ventilation

Excessive respiratory effort may increase the risk of lung injury during noninvasive ventilation. A study in CHEST^® Critical Care explored if the pressures measured in the airway during a transient expiratory airway occlusion maneuver could be used to detect elevated respiratory effort during noninvasive ventilation delivered by facem ask.

SLEEP

Impact of Positive Airway Pressure Therapy on Health Care Resource Use in Patients With OSA and Coronary Artery Disease

OSA is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. A study in the journal CHEST^® examined the impact of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy adherence to determine if it was associated with reduced health care resource use in patients with CAD and newly diagnosed OSA.
