What is Qualitative Assessment of the Effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure on the Nasal Cavity about?
## Background For patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), there is a lack of knowledge regarding the impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on the nasal cavity. There is a significant need for evidence-based recommendations regarding the appropriate use of CPAP following endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery. ## Objective The goal of this study is to translate a previously developed cadaveric model for evaluating CPAP pressures in the sinonasal cavity by showing safety in vivo and quantifying the effect of positive pressurized air flow on the nasal cavity of healthy individuals where physiologic effects are at play. ## Methods A previously validated cadaveric model using intracranial sensor catheters has proved to be a reliable technique for measuring sinonasal pressures. These sensors were placed in the nasal cavity of 18 healthy individuals. Pressure within the nose was recorded at increasing levels of CPAP. ## Results Overall, nasal cavity pressure was on average 85% of delivered CPAP. The amount of pressure delivered to the nasal cavity increased as the CPAP increased. The percentage of CPAP delivered was 77% for 5 cmH~2~O and increased to 89% at 20 cmH~2~O
