Study: NCT00646477

Intervention type: DEVICE
Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: titration night
Description: Each subject undergo 1 night of full polysomnography split into 2 consecutives and randomized sequences, using the Sandman device into two different modes:~in APAP mode - Data analysis of this sequence will be used to evaluate the therapeutic effectiveness of the CPAP/autoCPAP Sandman in APAP mode compared both to the polysomnography registration and the diagnosis night for each enrolled patient. The type of respiratory events and their index/hour of sleep and the total arousal index will be appraised as markers of the efficacy of OSAS treatment, constituting the primary outcomes.~in CPAP mode for manual titration sequence.During the manual titration, 5 constant pressure levels settings were studied for equal periods of 30 minutes gradually increasing the pressure. The aim of this sequence is to determine the sensitivity and the specificity of the CPAP/autoCPAP Sandman in detecting respiratory events.
