Study Summary

Patients who have Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) may have different Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)when titrated with different levels of humidification. It is hypothesised that patients with ThermoSmart® technology (heated breathing tube technology) will have lower titrated pressures than those who are titrated using conventional humidification (non heated breathing tube).

Primary Outcome

Each night, the participant underwent a CPAP titration to determine their therapeutic pressure. During a titration, a sleep technician manually adjusts the participants pressure to determine which pressure is best for that individual in reducing their Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) which is the measure of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) severity. Titration pressures for each group were compared to see if there was any impact of having a heated breathing tube versus a non heated breathing tube on titra
