Follow-up of Apneic Patients by Visio-consultation

Prospective multicenter open-label randomized clinical trial comparing videoconsultation to a face-to-face consultation during the follow-up of apneic patients treated by continuous positive pressure (CPAP) .

The annual management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) patients treated by continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) aims to maintain an optimal level of care while offering to the patients a combined management of their pathology. This management aims to reduce the risk of cardio-metabolic pathologies. However, the high prevalence of OSA in the general population reduces the ability to explore undiagnosed patients. The contribution of videoconsultation is now available and allows the management of OSA patients treated by CPAP. The objective of this study is to compare the videoconsultation to a face-to-face consultation during the follow-up of apneic patients treated by continuous positive pressure (CPAP) . The results of this study could provide very important new data on the impact of videoconsultation on the monitoring a chronic respiratory pathology such as sleep apnea.
