Summary

Wireless telemonitoring is compared with regular nursing procedure in terms of patient satisfaction, adherence to continuous positive pressure (CPAP) treatment and nursing time during the habituation phase of the CPAP therapy in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).

Detailed description

Both patients and study nurses were unblinded for the wireless telemonitoring system (ResTraxx™Online, ResMed, Sydney, Australia). The module was attached to the S9 Elite™ (ResMed, Sydney, Australia) CPAP device, which transmitted compliance data every day automatically to the ResTraxx™ Online (ResMed, Sydney, Australia) data base. The treatment was considered successful when CPAP use was \>4 h/day, mask leak \<0.4 L/s, and AHI \<5/h during the last 6 days. Study nurses made the data check-ups daily during weekdays and if the criteria for successful CPAP therapy was not achieved during two consecutive nights the nurses adjusted the CPAP pressure remotely and called the patient to give further advice. Patients had also a control viist aftr one year.
