Brief summary

The Randomized Controlled Trial of Bleep DreamPort-Eclipse Study is a two-arm, randomized, prospective, non-blinded study to assess the effectiveness of the novel CPAP human interface design to improve leak, AHI, and pressure compared to a traditional nasal mask.

Interventions

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI)60 daysAHI recorded from the software built-in algorithm. The Apnea-Hypopnea Index or Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index (AHI) is an index used to indicate the severity of sleep apnea. It is represented by the number of apnea and hypopnea events per hour of sleep. The apneas (pauses in breathing) must last for at least 10 seconds and be associated with a decrease in blood oxygenation.
Leak60 daysData were captured from the device in L/min at 60 days. Leak is how much flow in L exits the mask while the patient wears it each min. It is recorded through proprietary algorithm undisclosed to the public by the device
CPAP Device Pressure (P95)60 daysTherapeutic positive pressure (in cmH2O) that the device administer for 95% of the night. It is recorded through proprietary algorithm undisclosed to the public by the device.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Participant Satisfaction With the Mask Choice60 daysA 16-item patient survey was administered to the participants in each arm at the end of the study. Patients had to answer according to a Likert scale (1: worst, 5:best). This reflects the average of all the answered items. For example, question number one had an average score of 4.48 for the eclipse mask arm and 4.12 for the standard mask arm, question number 2 had an average score of 4.40 for the eclipse mask arm and 4.42 for the standard mask arm, etc. Since all questions reflect participant satisfaction, they were averaged to provide an overall score.
Percentage of Participants Who Could Tolerate the Mask Well (Mask Tolerability)60 daysWe estimated the mask tolerability as follows (as a percentage): 100\*(participants who completed the trial) / \[(participants who completed the trial) + (participants who discontinued the trial due to a desire to switch masks or poor mask compliance)\].
