Expiratory Pressure Alleviation in CPAP Therapy: Impact on Upper Airway Patency and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Control

By MedXY 09/09/2026

Expiratory pressure alleviation during CPAP treatment reduces upper airway patency, increases residual apnea severity, and necessitates higher therapeutic pressure in severe OSA patients, without affecting treatment adherence.

Enhanced Respiratory Support in Very Preterm Infants: Nasal Mask CPAP Outperforms Face Mask at Birth

By MedXY 09/21/2025

An open-label RCT demonstrates that nasal mask CPAP at birth increases CPAP success rates and reduces the need for positive pressure ventilation compared to face mask CPAP in very preterm infants, with comparable safety profiles.
