- Abstract
- Monitoring unintentional air leaks in continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is essential for therapy success. While leaks are often attributed to improperly sealed masks, mouth openings may also cause them, requiring interventions. Recent studies demonstrated distinctive mandibular jaw movement (MJM) signal patterns during sleep related to respiratory events and sleep stages. Analysing MJM during CPAP treatment reveals air leak peaks coinciding with maximal MJM amplitude during obstructive events, and air leak decreases corresponding to arousals. Examining leaks with MJM offers valuable insights into their origins and might open new avenues for CPAP management.
