Utilizing The Stop-Bang Questionnaire To Assess Risk Of Obstructive Sleep Apnea In Hospitalized Patients With Heart Failure To Facilitate Sleep Medicine Referrals Upon Discharge, Chelsea Mitchell
DNP Projects
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common sleep-breathing disorder. Undiagnosed OSA is highly prevalent in the population, especially in those with heart failure. OSA and heart failure combined create a negative feedback loop that can lead to poor clinical outcomes. Unfortunately, many cardiac patients are never screened for OSA.
Purpose: The purpose of this project is to improve screening rates for OSA via the STOP-Bang questionnaire and establish an efficient and effective process for referrals to sleep medicine for heart failure patients screening high-risk.
Methods: The design was a quality improvement project with pre- and post-testing and a …

Obstructive Sleep Apnea In Neonates., Indira Chandrasekar, Mary Anne Tablizo, Manisha Witmans, Jose Cruz, Marcus Cummins, Wendy Estrellado-Cruz
Manuscripts, Articles, Book Chapters and Other Papers
Neonates have distinctive anatomic and physiologic features that predispose them to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The overall prevalence of neonatal OSA is unknown, although an increase in prevalence has been reported in neonates with craniofacial malformations, neurological disorders, and airway malformations. If remained unrecognized and untreated, neonatal OSA can lead to impaired growth and development, cardiovascular morbidity, and can even be life threatening. Polysomnography and direct visualization of the airway are essential diagnostic modalities in neonatal OSA. Treatment of neonatal OSA is based on the severity of OSA and associated co-morbidities. This may include medical and surgical interventions individualized for …

Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being
Children with Down syndrome (DS) are at high risk for developing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) compared to children without DS. The negative impact of OSA on health, behavior, and cognitive development in children with DS highlights the importance of timely and effective treatment. Due to the higher prevalence of craniofacial and airway abnormalities, obesity, and hypotonia in patients with DS, residual OSA can still occur after exhausting first-line options. While treatment commonly includes adenotonsillectomy (AT) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, additional therapy such as medical management and/or adjuvant surgical procedures need to be considered in refractory OSA. Given …

The Use Of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure In Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea To Decrease The Risk And Progression Of Cardiovascular Disease, Haley Duncan
Capstone Showcase
Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is one of the most prevalent illnesses worldwide and the leading cause of death in the United States. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been found to be a risk factor correlated to cardiovascular disease and events. Treatment for OSA includes the use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), but patients are often non-compliant due to discomfort. Therefore, the following clinical question arises: [P] In an adult patient (35-75 years old) diagnosed with OSA, [I] does the use of CPAP [C: compared to patients with OSA who do not use CPAP] [O]decrease the risk and/or progression of cardiovascular …
A Positive Framed Message To Improve Cpap Compliance For Patients With Osa, Frances Clark
A Positive Framed Message To Improve Cpap Compliance For Patients With Osa, Frances Clark
Evidence-Based Practice Project Reports
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects 24% of the US population (DiNapoli, 2014). Untreated OSA causes many diseases, affects one’s quality of life, and increases mortality (Pengo et al., 2018). Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the lifelong treatment for OSA; yet 30%-80% of OSA patients are CPAP noncompliant within one year. The purpose of this EBP project was to determine if implementing a positive frame message intervention would improve CPAP compliance for newly diagnosed OSA patients. Based on the evidence, implementation of behavioral interventions, such as a positive framed message, was effective in improving CPAP compliance (Pengo et al., 2018). …
Motivational Interviewing For Cpap Adherence, Caitlin Green, Grayton Downing, Cindy Cheng, Md, Phd
Motivational Interviewing For Cpap Adherence, Caitlin Green, Grayton Downing, Cindy Cheng, Md, Phd
Phase 1
Background: Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP), is the gold standard for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment. If left untreated, patients with OSA can experience serious and potentially life-threatening consequences. However, patient CPAP adherence is an ongoing problem, as compliance rates are historically low (typically 30-60%). Engaging patients in motivational interviewing (MI) by trained providers could promote increased CPAP adherence.
Question/Purpose: Assess CPAP compliance in patients who receive motivational interviewing compared to a control attention intervention.
Methods: A team of medical students were trained in MI interviewing techniques through a novel training protocol. The training protocol includes reading articles and watching …

Cognitive Changes In Patients Treated For Obstructive Sleep Apnea With Upper Airway Stimulation, Maxillomandibular Advancement, Or Expansion Sphincter Pharyngoplasty, Nicolas Zingas, Colin Huntley, Matthew Stewart, Ramez Philips
Phase 1
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent diagnosis that has been shown to not only affect sleepiness, but daytime cognitive function — specifically attention, working memory, and executive function. CPAP treatment is troublesome for some patients and it is possible that superior treatment options, specifically novel surgical techniques, are available, though none have been evaluated for their long-term effects on neurocognition. We hypothesize that treating patients with upper airway stimulation surgery (UAS) UAS, maxillomandibular advancement surgery (MMA), and expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty surgery (ESP) for OSA produces a significant improvement in cognition from baseline.
Methods: For inclusion in the study, …

Phase 1
Introduction
Upper airway stimulation (UAS) is newer treatment option for the management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and presents an alternative to the traditional Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). Previously published data has shown good control of disease severity utilizing UAS with high patient tolerance and compliance. We aim to compare a cohort of patients treated with UAS and CPAP and evaluate therapy usage and disease control through use of the mean disease alleviation concept.
Methods
We evaluated demographic, pre and post-treatment sleep study, and therapy utilization data of cohorts of patients with OSA treated with CPAP and UAS. We …

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Final Clinical Projects, 2016-2019
Abstract
The aim of this project is to improve continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) non-adherence in patients newly diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is caused by recurrent collapse of the upper airway during sleep. Untreated, OSA is associated with co-morbidity and decreased quality of life. The standard for OSA treatment is CPAP. Adherence to CPAP is not optimal. Applying telemedicine technology to monitor adherence of CPAP treatment, allows for early intervention. Prior research has shown mixed results with use of telemedicine on non-adherence rates.
This is a pilot study using telemedicine to monitor adherence data to …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a well-recognized disease entity affecting approximately 2% to 4% of the population. Maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgery is a highly successful surgical alternative to poorly tolerated CPAP therapy and achieves a success rate of 89% in the current literature. Our present study evaluates the effectiveness of MMA surgery in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe OSA based on Shers criteria of 50% reduction in AHI and AHI < 20. Radiographic and clinical treatment variables were evaluated in determining predictors of success for MMA in individuals with OSA.
