Feasibility of a Modified Positive Airway Pressure Device to Treat Sleep Disordered Breathing
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study will use a modified version of a positive airway pressure device to supply air to the participant, while undergoing supervised polysomnography. Positive airway pressures are typically applied to many patients with hypoventilation, in this study these pressures will be titrated by a qualified sleep technician. During the night these pressures will be altered to optimise comfort.

Experimental: Positive airway pressure (PAP) device Fisher & Paykel Healthcare PAP Device. Participants will sleep overnight using themodified positive airway pressure device. Their pressures will be titrated by a qualified sleep technician, they will then be optimised during the night. |
Device: Fisher & Paykel Healthcare PAP Device
The device is a modified version of the Fisher & Paykel Icon continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device, which is a fully released product in New Zealand.
