Scientific titleComparison of treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and treatment with adaptive assisted ventilation (SOMNOventCR®) in patients with combined obstructive sleep apnoea and Cheyne-Stokes respiration
Study objectivesThe goal of the study was to compare this new therapeutic option (SOMNOvent CR®) with the established method of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with combination of obstructive sleep-apnoea syndrome and Cheyne-Stokes respiration with underlying heart disease.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics Committee of the University of Witten/Herdecke (Universität Witten/Herdecke e.V.), approved in May 2008 (ref: 13/2008)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedObstructive sleep apnoea, Cheyne-Stokes respiration
InterventionThis is a cross-over study. CPAP therapy with SOMNOsoft plus® for 4 weeks versus adaptive servo-ventilation therapy with SOMNOvent CR® for 4 weeks. There is a washout period of 1 week between the treatments.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureThe central AHI, assessed by polysomnography at baseline, after four weeks therapy, and (after the wash-out period) after four weeks with the other therapy (i.e. 9 weeks).
Secondary outcome measures1. Total AHI, assessed by polysomnography at baseline, after four weeks therapy, and (after the wash-out period) after four weeks with the other therapy (i.e. 9 weeks)
2. Left ventricular ejection fraction, assessed by echocardiography at baseline, after 4 weeks therapy, and (after the wash-out period) after four weeks with the other therapy (i.e. 9 weeks)
3. Six minutes walking test at baseline, after 4 weeks therapy, and (after the wash-out period) after four weeks with the other therapy (i.e. 9 weeks)
4. Patients' questionnaire at baseline, after 4 weeks therapy, and (after the wash-out period), after four weeks with the other therapy (i.e. 9 weeks). This will include assessment of subjective satisfaction with the therapy.
5. Minimum and middle oxygen saturation, assessed by polysomnography at baseline, after four weeks therapy, and (after the wash-out period) after four weeks with the other therapy (i.e. 9 weeks)
6. Compliance, after 4 weeks therapy, and (after the wash-out period) after 4 weeks with the other therapy (i.e. 9 weeks)
