Concierge Sleep Testing? It's more than just a breathing disorder!
This week, STT chats with Stanford Professor, Fullpower AI medical advisor, and founder of Sleep and Brain, Anil Rama MD. Dr Rama brings a concierge approach to sleep disordered breathing and sleep apnea with the thought that it is more than just a breathing disorder. Dr Rama keeps in mind that there is an underlying traumatic brain injury taking place with sleep disordered breathing and goes beyond simple stenting of the airway. Listen in as Dr Rama talks about his approach to OSA and sleep disordered breathing.

NEW PRODUCT ALERT!
KPAP! The latest in PAP therapy
This week, the crew talks to David White, MD, about Kairos, KPAP, the latest in PAP therapy. Listeners and viewers have heard of the beginnings of this therapy when we had Dr Bill Noah on a previous episode.
KairosPAP (KPAP), a novel way to deliver the minimum pressure needed across the respiratory cycle to keep the pharyngeal airway patent during sleep.
Kairos is a Greek word meaning “at the right time,” and, in this context, it means positive airway pressure at the right time across the respiratory cycle.
First, previous attempts to improve CPAP comfort (BiPAP, C-Flex, and EPR) will be discussed and why they negatively affected airway patency and did not improve adherence.
Next, the concept of reducing IPAP to less than EPAP will be addressed first with a full discussion of the effect of a simple resistor (V-Com, approximately 2 cm H20/L/s) placed in the PAP tubing, which lowers IPAP by about 2 cm H20. This resistor did not affect PAP efficacy, reduced leak, improved adherence, and eliminated TECSA when present.
There is also a webinar with Dr White on KPAP coming up on May 29 and 30, 2024 by Sleep World Magazine.
Register for the webinar here: https://20612425.hs-sites.com/kairospap-kpap-webinars?utm_campaign=KPAP&utm_content=294340781&utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkedin&hss_channel=lcp-87174120
