Clinical trials: Breathing Pattern Disorder
Effects of High Altitude, Hypoxia
Induced Changes in Ventilatory Responsiveness and Altitude Exposure
The main purpose of this study is to determine if a drug (acetyl-cysteine or ACCY) can increase the amount of oxygen in your body at a high altitude of 11,500 feet.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Oxygen Saturation Patterns in Post-Op Patients at Risk for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
This study will include patients who have major surgery and are at risk for or have been diagnosed with sleep apnea. The patients will be monitored the night after surgery for repeating episodes of reduced breathing and oxygen…

Sleep Apnea, Obstructive
Oxygen Saturation Monitoring During Surgery
Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) have cyclical patterns of lower blood oxygen during sleep because of repeated episodes of upper airway obstruction that cause their breathing to stop.

Respiratory Insufficiency, Sleep Disordered Breathing
Adjustment of Mask Pressure, for Bilevel Positive Airways Pressure Therapy, by Automated Algorithm
The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that an automated algorithm for desired mask pressure improves breathing pattern and sleep quality in patients with hypercapnic ventilatory failure.
