Comparative Study[Comparison of oxygen therapy with nasal continuous positive airway pressure on Cheyne-Stokes respiration in patients with chronic congestive heart failure].
To compare the acute effects of oxygen therapy and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) therapy on Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) in patients with stable chronic congestive heart failure (CHF). ⋯ CSR occurs frequently in patients with stable CHF. Both higher concentration oxygen and nCPAP can be used as therapeutic strategies in CHF patients with CSR.
