Initiation of Auto-adjusting CPAP for Newly Diagnosed OSA in Hospitalized Patients

Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Obstructive Sleep Apnea

In brief

This study will test the following hypotheses: 1. Treatment of newly diagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in acutely ill patients with auto-adjusting Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) would result in fewer in-hospital complications, as compared to no treatment (primary outcome). 2. Treatment of newly identified OSA in acutely ill patients with auto-adjusting CPAP would result in shorter length of stay, lower re-admission rate, better blood pressure (BP) control, better long term compliance with OSA treatment, as compared to no treatment (secondary outcomes).
