Study of a Novel APAP Algorithm for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Women

Conclusion:Among premenopausal women a novel female-specific autotitrating algorithm (AfH) is as effective as the standard AutoSet algorithm in controlling obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The new algorithm may reduce flow limitation more than the standard algorithm and achieve control of OSA at a lower (95th centile) pressure.Citation:McArdle N, King S, Shepherd K, Baker V, Ramanan D, Ketheeswaran S, Bateman P, Wimms A, Armitstead J, Richards G, Hillman D, Eastwood P.
