The most commonly used treatment for the sleep apnoea syndrome (SAS) is the application of constant positive airway pressure (CPAP) during sleep. Compliance is an essential element in the efficiency of CPAP. This is dependent on the quality of the management of care and on the education of the patients. With the emergence of telemedicine, telemonitoring of CPAP has been developed in France.
This study will be observational and multicentered. The main aim is to evaluate the feasibility of CPAP telemonitoring in SAS patients (n=90). During the installation of the equipment, the patients will be instructed how to connect the CPAP Secure Digital card to a data transmitting box every week for two months. The actual number and frequency of remote-monitoring box connections will be recorded. The data transmission will be made to the study coordinator, the home care provider SADIR, by the way of a telemedicine platform, located in France.
This study will allow measurement of the adherence of the patients to their CPAP treatment by telemonitoring using this new tool of data transmission and the impact of this on CPAP compliance.
睡眠呼吸暂停综合征（SAS）最常用的治疗方法是在睡眠期间应用持续气道正压通气（CPAP）。依从性是CPAP治疗效果的关键因素。这取决于护理管理的质量以及患者的教育情况。随着远程医疗的出现，法国已开展了CPAP远程监测。
本研究将是一项多中心观察性研究。主要目的是评估CPAP远程监测在SAS患者（n = 90）中的可行性。在设备安装期间，患者将接受指导，如何在两个月内每周将CPAP安全数字卡连接到数据传输盒。将记录远程监测盒连接的实际数量和频率。数据将通过位于法国的远程医疗平台传输给研究协调员、家庭护理服务提供商SADIR。
本研究将通过使用这种新的数据传输工具进行远程监测，来衡量患者对CPAP治疗的依从性及其对CPAP依从性的影响。
