Evaluation of Gastroesophageal Reflux in Patients on Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Ventilation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Gastroesophageal Reflux, Sleep Apnea

In brief

Patients with a clinically indicated sleep study will be enrolled in this study. They will have a diagnostic and a therapeutic sleep study with continuous positive airway pressure ventilation. For both studies a pH probe will be placed nasal to measure the amount of acidic reflux during each study. Baseline levels of reflux from the diagnostic sleep study will be compared to reflux episodes while on continuous positive airway pressure ventilation.
