Study objectivesBiPAP Auto with Bi-Flex® therapy will improve compliance, subjective sleepiness and quality of life in obstructive sleep apnoea patients who demonstrate poor compliance to standard fixed pressure therapy.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics Committee for Protection of Human Subjects in Biomedical Research (CCPPRB), Lille, 02/05/2006, ref: CP 06/57
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedObstructive sleep apnoea
InterventionAfter a full polysomnography (PSG) patients will be given a BiPAP Auto with Bi-Flex® device. Patients will be followed up at 15 days and 10 weeks.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureTo determine whether rescuing optimally treated OSA patients who demonstrate poor compliance to PAP therapy by transitioning them onto BiPAP Auto with Bi-Flex improves compliance, subjective sleepiness and quality of life.

1. Compliance will be measured at 15 days and 10 weeks by retrieving device data
2. Subjective compliance and quality of life will be measured by Epworth Sleepiness Questionnaire and Functional Outcomes of Sleep Therapy questionnaire at baseline, 15 days and 10 weeks
Secondary outcome measures1. Determination of comfort between BiPAP Auto with Bi-Flex® and previous device used. Measured by Device Comfort scale at baseline, 15 days and 10 weeks.
2. Identify barriers to successful transition onto BiPAP Auto with Bi-Flex®. Patients' previous machine type and mask will be noted and effect on transition assessed.
3. To determine the machine types used by patients who demonstrate poor compliance to fixed PAP therapy and their treatment efficacy during sleep. Previous machine type will be noted at baseline and treatment efficiency during baseline PSG.

Tertiary objective:
4. To investigate the level of agreement between Apnoea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) measured at Visit 1 (15 days) by PSG and an autotitrating PAP device in a subgroup of patients. Carried out at Visit 1 by PSG.
