Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition of recurring, episodic complete or upper airway collapse, is a common disorder, affecting an estimated 17.4% of women and 33.9% of men in the United States [1] . The first line treatment for OSA is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy, a medical device that delivers adequate airflow and oxygenation during sleep by way of a tube that connects an air compressor to a face mask that can fit over the nose, under the nose, or over the nose and mouth.

利用生物医学工程工程师改善卒中患者的阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)护理。

阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)是一种复发性、发作性完全性或上呼吸道塌陷的疾病，是一种常见的疾病，在美国约有17.4%的女性和33.9%的男性受到影响[1]。阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停的第一线治疗是持续气道正压通气(CPAP)治疗，这是一种医疗设备，通过一根管子在睡眠期间提供足够的气流和氧合，该管子将空气压缩机连接到面罩上，面罩可以盖在鼻子上、鼻子下或盖在鼻子和嘴巴上。

期刊介绍： The IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine is an open access product that bridges the engineering and clinical worlds, focusing on detailed descriptions of advanced technical solutions to a clinical need along with clinical results and healthcare relevance. The journal provides a platform for state-of-the-art technology directions in the interdisciplinary field of biomedical engineering, embracing engineering, life sciences and medicine. A unique aspect of the journal is its ability to foster a collaboration between physicians and engineers for presenting broad and compelling real world technological and engineering solutions that can be implemented in the interest of improving quality of patient care and treatment outcomes, thereby reducing costs and improving efficiency. The journal provides an active forum for clinical research and relevant state-of the-art technology for members of all the IEEE societies that have an interest in biomedical engineering as well as reaching out directly to physicians and the medical community through the American Medical Association (AMA) and other clinical societies. The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited, to topics on: Medical devices, healthcare delivery systems, global healthcare initiatives, and ICT based services; Technological relevance to healthcare cost reduction; Technology affecting healthcare management, decision-making, and policy; Advanced technical work that is applied to solving specific clinical needs.
