[Telemonitoring in continuous positive airway pressure-treated patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome: An algorithm proposal]. Rev Mal Respir. 2020 May 08;: Authors: Prigent A, Gentina T, Launois S, Meurice JC, Pia d'Ortho M, Philippe C, Tamisier R, Gagnadoux F, Jaffuel D, groupe de travail de la Société française de recherche et médecine du sommeil et la Société de pneumologie de langue française Abstract Most of the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices currently in use allow telemonitoring of observance, leaks and the apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI). La Société française de recherche et de médecine du sommeil (SFRMS) and La Société de pneumologie de langue française (SPLF) workgroup offer to CPAP prescribers and to home care providers a scientific document which has the following purposes: to underline the relevance of the telemonitoring of leaks and the AHI, to define alert thresholds, to describe the principal mechanisms generating excessive leaks and high AHI, and to propose a diagnostic algorithm.
