Upper airway obstruction during noninvasive ventilation induced by the use of an oronasal mask.

ABSTRACT: In patients with neuromuscular disorders, no randomized studies have been performed whether nasal or oronasal masks should be preferred. Oronasal masks are often used in acute respiratory failure, while nasal masks are preferred in patients with chronic respiratory failure. However, the use of nasal masks can result in mouth leaks with implications on sleep quality. To reduce these leaks, oronasal masks have been applied during home noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Until now, upper airway obstruction during NIV has been thought to be induced by nasal obstruction, pharyngeal collapse, and/or glottis closure. We report a case indicating another cause of upper airway obstruction: use of an oronasal mask can induce obstructive events in the upper airways, possibly resulting in sleep fragmentation and decreased efficiency of NIV.

Project description:Study objectivesDrug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) using propofol is commonly used to identify the pharyngeal structure involved in collapse among patients with obstructive sleep apnea. DISE has never been compared with zolpidem-induced sleep endoscopy. We hypothesized that propofol at recommended sedation levels does not influence upper airway collapsibility nor the frequency of multilevel pharyngeal collapse as compared with zolpidem-induced sleep.MethodsTwenty-one patients with obstructive sleep apnea underwent polysomnography and sleep endoscopy during zolpidem-induced sleep and during DISE with propofol. A propofol target-controlled infusion was titrated to achieve a bispectral index between 50 and 70. Airway collapsibility was estimated and compared in both conditions by peak inspiratory flow and the magnitude of negative effort dependence. Respiratory drive was estimated by the difference between end-expiratory and peak-negative inspiratory pharyngeal pressure (driving pressure). Site and configuration of pharyngeal collapse during zolpidem-induced sleep and DISE with propofol were compared.ResultsThe frequency of multilevel collapse during zolpidem-induced sleep was similar to that observed during DISE with propofol (72% vs 86%, respectively; difference: 14%; 95% confidence interval: -12% to 40%; P = .453). The endoscopic classification of pharyngeal collapse during both conditions were similar. Peak inspiratory flow, respiratory drive (effect size: 0.05 and 0.03, respectively), and negative effort dependence (difference: -6%; 95% confidence interval: -16% to 4%) were also similar in both procedures.ConclusionsIn this pilot study, recommended propofol doses did not significantly increase multilevel pharyngeal collapse or affect upper airway collapsibility and respiratory drive as compared with zolpidem-induced sleep.Clinical trial registrationRegistry: clinicaltrials.gov; Name: Natural and Drug Sleep Endoscopy; URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/study/NCT03004014; Identifier: NCT03004014.
