OSA PostersSESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: Asses relationship between a poor clinical outcome in patients and therapeutic pressure variation determined by Auto CPAPMETHODS: Patients with poor clinical outcome after establishing fixed pressure CPAP with formula (F cpap), were placed in 3 groups according to the reasons for poor control: low tolerance, no clinical improvement and bad therapeutic adherence. All patients were titulated with auto cpap (a cpap). We evaluated clinical and polygraphic characteristics and looked for relationship between these reasons and the parameters analyzed. Variable was the pressure difference f cpap-a cpap. We compared this difference with clinical improvement, therapeutic adherence and tolerance using the U test of Mann Whitney. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Deisy Barrios Barreto, Eva Mañas Baena, Carolina Gotera, Carolina Jurkojc Mohremberger, Javier Garcia Leaniz, Patricia Lazo Meneses, Patricia Castro Acosta, Rosa Mirambeaux Villalona, Maria SalazarNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.

Lung Cancer Posters ISESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: Oxidative stress is increased in lung cancer (LC) and generated volatile organic compounds (VOC). We can detect VOC in exhaled breath using the analytical technique Thermal desorber-gase cromatography and mass spectrometry (TD-GC/MS). The determination of VOC, may be useful as a noninvasive screening in LC. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Javier Jareño, Maria Angeles Munoz, Carolin Wagner, Concepcion Civera, Luis CallolNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
