Continuous Positive Airway Pressure for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea in Quadriplegia: A Randomised Trial

在澳大利亚，每年有260人遭受脊髓损伤，超过一半的人失去了手臂和腿的全部功能(四肢瘫痪)。除原发残疾外，阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)的发生率很高。该项目是一项多国家随机对照试验，旨在治疗睡眠中戴鼻罩治疗OSA急性损伤。这项研究将确定我们是否可以通过改善睡眠、生活质量、记忆力和注意力来帮助人们在受伤后生活得更好。

Each year in Australia 260 people sustain a SCI, with over half losing full function in their arms and legs (quadriplegia). In addition to the primary disability, there is a very high rate of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). This project is a multi-national randomized controlled trial to treat OSA in acute injury with a nasal mask during sleep. The study will determine if we can help people live better after injury by improving sleep, quality of life, memory and attention.
