Effect of High-Flow Nasal Cannula on Sleep-disordered Breathing and Sleep Quality in Patients With Acute Stroke

Abstract: Introduction Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is common after stroke. Although the standard treatment of SDB is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) ventilation, the patient's intolerance and discomfort result in low adherence rates. Alternatively, high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) may be useful as it reduces upper airway collapse with low level of positive pressure and well tolerability. The aim of this study was to investigate whether HFNC therapy reduces SDB and improves sleep quality with higher complia… Show more

“…In their study, the median sleep efficiency was 55.9%, and the 91% TST was predominantly occupied by shallow sleep of stage N1 and N2 at an HFNC flow rate of 50 L / min. In addition, HFNC at a high flow rate of 40 to 60 L / min was poorly tolerated (8,26,27). Anxiety and discomfort associated with nasal cannula, a high flow and high temperature of humid gases, noise exposure, and condensation that accumulated in the nasal prong and spraying into patient's nostril may all disrupt a patient's sleep (9)(10)(11)(12).…”
