A prospective cohort study investigating patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) was conducted to determine the prevalence of dysfunctional breathing and if continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy improves associated symptoms. Almost half of newly diagnosed patients with OSA had dysfunctional breathing and CPAP was not an effective treatment. Dysfunctional breathing is common in patients with OSA.
一项针对阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)患者的前瞻性队列研究旨在确定呼吸功能障碍的患病率,以及持续气道正压通气(CPAP)治疗是否改善相关症状。几乎一半新诊断的 OSA 患者存在呼吸功能障碍,CPAP 治疗并非有效。呼吸功能障碍在 OSA 患者中很常见。
