A chinstrap is potentially useful to reduce unintentional air leak by preventing mouth opening during PAP treatment. This study examines whether the addition of a chinstrap to PAP therapy has any effect on adherence, nightly duration of use, air leak, and residual AHI.
This was a retrospective study performed at an AASM-accredited VAMC sleep center. Clinical sleep data of veterans (n = 124) prescribed PAP therapy for sleep apnea was evaluated, and the effect of chinstrap use vs non-use on the above parameters was assessed.
Chinstrap users had significantly greater PAP adherence, longer nightly duration of PAP use, lower residual AHI and lower leak compared to chinstrap non-users at first follow up visit.
The addition of a chin strap to PAP therapy is a simple and inexpensive method of increasing PAP adherence.
颏带在 PAP 治疗中通过防止张口来减少非故意的漏气,具有潜在的用处。本研究旨在探讨颏带的附加使用对依从性、每晚使用时长、漏气和残余 AHI 是否有任何影响。
这是在一家 AASM 认证的退伍军人事务部医疗中心进行的回顾性研究。评估了因睡眠呼吸暂停而接受 PAP 治疗的退伍军人(n = 124)的临床睡眠数据,并评估了颏带使用与不使用对上述参数的影响。
与颏带非使用者相比,颏带使用者在首次随访时具有更高的 PAP 依从性、更长的每晚 PAP 使用时长、更低的残余 AHI 和更低的漏气。
在 PAP 治疗中增加颏带是一种增加 PAP 依从性的简单且廉价的方法。
