治疗鼾症最好的呼吸机器(译文CPAPAPAP)

治疗鼾症最好的呼吸机器(译文CPAPAPAP)如果你看过所有发表的,关于CPAP APAP BiPAP的对比报道的话,会有很多关于依从性、漏气量、耐受性等的差异。但是,总得来说这三个型号在主观嗜睡、AHI改善、生活质量打分方面没有特别明显的不同。这也是为什么一些睡眠医生会说:本质上,这三个型号没什么区别。With so many different models to choose from people continue to ask me which is the best option. If your insurance company pays for your PAP machine you don’t have a choice—you have to start with a basic CPAP machine. Most people do well with standard CPAP models but

平时我们工作过程中,遇到的最多的问题是:我戴单水平好,还是双水平好?半自动的好呢,还是全自动的好呢?这个问题基本上是必问的。说明大家对这个问题实际上很纠结,今天我们选自一篇来自美国的文章来让大家看看美国那边是如何看待这个问题的。中英对照哦!

CPAP vs. APAP vs. BiPAP: Which One Is Best For Sleep Apnea?

半自动,全自动,双水平,哪个治疗鼾症最好?

气道正压设备多年来一直是治疗睡眠呼吸暂停的主要方法。随着行业发展,冒出来越来越多的型号和功能,这些机器搞得有些越来越复杂了,特别是有些厂家搞得各种不一样的型号和名字,还有什么舒适度功能的。

Positive airway pressure (PAP) machines are the mainstay of treating obstructive sleep apnea. Over the years with the development of different PAP models with different features it’s getting more and more confusing to differentiate all these machine from one another especially since various manufacturers use different names for certain models and comfort features.

我们来作一个总结:CPAP的意思是持续正压,这种机器吹一个持续不变的气流压力,通过面罩吹到你的鼻子(或者鼻子和口里)。Bilevel PAP 指得是提供两种不同的压力水平,当吸气时给到一个高点的压力,当呼气时给到一个稍低些的压力。BiPAP实际上是伟康公司注册的一个品牌名。APAP(注:我们常说得单水平全自动)机器是按需要调整压力,还有一些变化的名称是:Auto-bilever设备,还有ASV等,针对复杂和或者中枢型呼吸暂停的。我们今天主要谈一下:CPAP Bilever和APAP.(呼吸机匠人注:半自动,双水平,和单水平全自动)

As a summary CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure. These machines blow a constant level of positive air pressure through a mask into your nose (or nose and mouth). Bilevel PAP refers to a machine that delivers two different levels where a higher pressure is used during inhalation and a much lower pressure is given during exhalation. BiPAP is actually a registered brand name from Respironics. Auto-titrating PAP machines adjust your pressures as needed. There are other variations such as auto-bilevel devices and ASV units which are used for complex or central sleep apnea. For this discussion we’ll talk about CPAP Bilevel and auto-titrating units only.

打算从这么多型号里选择一台呼吸机,人们问得最多的问题是:哪个最好?如果你的保险公司给你付钱的哦,你就不用选择了——你不得不用基本的CPAP呼吸机的。很多人用这种普通的CPAP呼吸机也蛮好的啊,但是总是有些人还是用不好的。但是在换新机器前,你最好再看看有哪些问题引起的,比如:有没有漏气啊,张口呼吸啊,湿化器的问题,面罩是不是合适等。在使用呼吸机时,最为重要的是一定要有一个目标反馈:比如你的AHI和漏气情况,当然还有你的总使用小时数。有些人最终换了APAP后戴着挺好,可是对有的人来说,也没什么不一样的。有时,CPAP机器的持续固定压力要比APAP机器工作起来效果更好,可能的人戴双水平呼吸机更好一些。

With so many different models to choose from people continue to ask me which is the best option. If your insurance company pays for your PAP machine you don’t have a choice—you have to start with a basic CPAP machine. Most people do well with standard CPAP models but there will always be people who don’t do well. But before switching to a new machine you have to first go through the standard trouble-shooting steps to make sure that there’s no leak mouth breathing humidity issues mask fit etc. It’s also important to use machines that give more objective feedback such as your AHI and leak rates rather than just the total number of hours used. Some people then end up trying an autoPAP machine and do great whereas for others it makes no difference. Sometimes continuous pressure from a CPAP machine works better than an autoPAP machine. Others do better with bilevel models.

如果你看过所有发表的,关于CPAP APAP BiPAP的对比报道的话,会有很多关于依从性、漏气量、耐受性等的差异。但是,总得来说这三个型号在主观嗜睡、AHI改善、生活质量打分方面没有特别明显的不同。这也是为什么一些睡眠医生会说:本质上,这三个型号没什么区别。

If you look at all the published reports comparing CPAP vs. autoPAP vs. BiPAP machines there are some differences in terms of compliance leak rates or tolerability but overall there’s no significant difference between the three in terms of subjective sleepiness AHI measures or quality of life scores. This is why some sleep doctors state that essentially there’s no difference in the overall outcome between these three types of machines.

然而,当研究者把每个用户按块状来研究的话,包括有反馈者和无反馈者,这并不代表是一个真实的结果。总是有一些患者用了APAP比戴CPAP更好,另一些人戴CPAP比戴APAP要好,一部分人戴BiPAP戴着更好。所以,基于循症医学,结论是应该淡化各种模式的潜在优点。我认为这不是一个好的临床实践。你首先应该用最基础的模式,如果患者受挫和无法忍受呼吸机治疗,再考虑其它模式才是。很多病例里,有很多可以优化患者当前的CPAP机器的办法,但是也不能不考虑其它的方案。

However since research studies lump together everyone including responders and nonresponders it’s not a true representation of real-life outcomes. There will always be some patients that do better on autoPAP compared to a CPAP machine. Others do better on CPAP than autoPAP. Some others do much better on bilevel devices. So based on evidence based medicine decisions are being made to downplay the potential advantages of various PAP models. I think that this is not good clinical practice. You should start with the basics first but for patients that are frustrated and not tolerating PAP therapy it’s worthwhile to consider other PAP options. In most cases there are a lot of simple steps that can be taken to fully optimize the patient’s current CPAP machine but you should never discount other options.

同样的争论也存在于口腔器械和手术领域,如果作得好的话,不少患者也同样可以适用这种方法哦。不幸的是,大多数用CPAP模式的用户都最终碰到了问题,并且从未作治疗中获益。这也是为什么CPAP模式长期依从性不是太高的原因。

最后,并不是哪个型号或者哪种治疗方法更好,最好是从最基本的CPAP模式,尽可能把它用好;如果确实是用不好,和你的医生讨论一下其它的模式。如果呼吸机治疗模式确实还是不行,再考虑其它非呼吸机的方法。

如果你是一个呼吸机使用者,你尝试过其它不同的模式吗?如果尝试过,哪种对你更好?

The same argument can be made for oral appliances and for surgery. A significant number of people do well with these options if done properly. Unfortunately most people who are given CPAP fall through the cracks and are never given the opportunity to truly benefit from therapy. This is why the long-term compliance rate is so low for CPAP.

Ultimately it’s not which model or which form of therapy is better but start with the CPAP basics and do everything possible make sure that you’re using it properly. If it doesn’t work talk with you doctor to discuss other PAP options. If PAP therapy doesn’t work then consider non-PAP options.

If you’re a PAP user did you try different models? If so which one works best for you?

点评

国外,确切说应该是美国,它们的医疗状况和我们有非常大的区别。就拿呼吸机进医保而言,目前在国外,很多商业保险公司更愿意直接提供APAP机器,因为这个压力滴定的工作直接可以通过商业保险公司来完成,这样一定程度还抢了睡眠中心的业务。本篇文章的作者是一个私人诊所的医生,有十几年从业经历,纽约人, 约翰霍普金斯大学的本科学位和哥伦比亚大学医学院外科医生的医学学位。文章里并没有给出大家明确的答案,应该说也是出于一定的利益考量的,毕竟作为医生不好发表过于倾向性的言论。我们可以参考一下他的观点。

在国外的操作手法要比国内专业的多,但是整个流程也慢地多。我们中国人讲究一个“快”字,省时,即使多花钱(何况还不差钱)。所以,呼吸机进入中国后,大家都认为APAP是最方便,最快捷的机器,尽管贵有些贵的。国外通常是先给你试CPAP机器,试得不行再换APAP机器,这种慢悠悠的作法,估计我们国内的商家十几台机器早卖出去了,在我们看来是十分难理解的。

CPAP,最便宜,耐受性好的人也能达到较好的治疗水平;APAP 价格适中,应该说可以针对绝大多数患者都可以取得相当好的治疗效果;BiPAP (这个地方实际上应该叫双水平全自动,瑞思迈的是AUTO25 伟康的是757P,767P),最贵,舒适度不能说是最好,要看特定人群的。对于耐受性好的人群,佩戴它和APAP实际上差别不是太大。

至于三者的结果,文章中也说了,区别不是太大,但是实际上舒适度有差别的,要根据患者的自身情况而定。这类医学文章从来不会“完全肯定”的结论的。「全文完」
