ATS 2024: a look to the future of sleep and breathing health
Monday Jun 10, 2024
Monday Jun 10, 2024
The ATS (American Thoracic Society) International Conference is a key event in the global sleep and breathing health calendar. So in this episode of OnAir, we asked Kimberly Sterling and Luciana Rabello – who were there as part of ResMed’s Medical Affairs Team – to share the exciting developments and research findings that caught their attention.
Topics discussed include:
Endotypes: what they are and how they differ to phenotypes – with a look at the role endotyping can play in the management of heterogenous conditions like OSA, and why a collaborative approach to its application may be key.
AI in medicine: how large-language models ‘think’ about complex care cases compared to the reasoning of seasoned clinicians, and the possibility of developing speech-based screening for sleep apnoea.
GLP-1s: could the use of these anti-obesity medications be associated with increased PAP adherence?
Kimberly and Luciana also tell us about connecting with peers to share scientific findings from the 26 abstracts ResMed supported at the event – including evidence that suggests PAP therapy reduces the risks of death and hospitalisation for patients with OSA.*

The Sleep Revolution project – shaking up the future of sleep medicine
Thursday May 23, 2024
Thursday May 23, 2024
Funded by a 15 million-euro grant from the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme for health demographic change and wellbeing, the Sleep Revolution project is an ambitious one that aims to shake up current diagnostic methods for sleep-disordered breathing (SBD).
In this episode of OnAir, we talk to the head of the project, Professor Erna Sif Arnardóttir. She tells us how she believes strong collaboration between the project’s partners convinced the EU that the Sleep Revolution project could make real change, including:
Bringing advanced sleep diagnostics from the hospital into patient’s homes
Encouraging patients to participate in their own care with the help of technical solutions
Developing different personalised treatment options for patients with SDB
Creating a new European Sleep Questionnaire to help capture the whole sleep profile of a person for clinical and research purposes
Prof. Arnardóttir also shares her thoughts on topics such as the importance of multi-night diagnostics, whether AHI is sufficient as parameter to classify the severity of OSA, and how digital tools – such as apps and wearables – and cooperation between different entities could transform the future of sleep medicine.

Benefits of OSA patient phenotyping
Thursday Mar 28, 2024
Thursday Mar 28, 2024
In this episode of OnAir, sleep clinician Prof. Dr Manuel Sánchez-de-la-Torre and host Daniela Ehrsam-Tosi discuss the potential benefits of patient phenotyping for obstructive sleep apnoea.
Prof. Dr Sánchez-de-la-Torre explores why patient phenotyping can be relevant during diagnosis, for making effective treatment decisions, and during the follow-up stage. He highlights the role of patient phenotype in predicting responses and understanding neutral effects, with a particular focus on blood pressure and hypoxic burden. He also emphasises the value of telemedicine in promoting engagement and treatment adherence.
Listen to learn why progress in patient phenotyping could affect the way you treat and understand your OSA patients.

World Sleep Day: improving health by improving sleep
Wednesday Mar 13, 2024
Wednesday Mar 13, 2024
In this episode of OnAir, clinical expert Professor Christoph Schöbel and host Daniela Ehrsam-Tosi discuss sleep quality and sleep disorders.
There’s a growing awareness of the importance of sleep for our cardiovascular system and our general health and wellbeing. At the same time, our ability to get good sleep is increasingly challenged by everything from late-night scrolling to irregular work schedules, stress and anxiety. It’s thought that 10-30% of people worldwide suffer from insomnia1, not to mention other sleep disorders like OSA and restless leg syndrome.
In this context, which diagnostic and treatment pathways should we be prioritising? Should primary care screening programmes focus on sleep as well as diet and exercise? What benefits might digital technology have to offer? Professor Schöbel shares his thoughts on these points, as well as discussing the new European Insomnia Guideline2 and the challenges of treating COMISA (co-morbid insomnia and sleep apnoea).

CPAP and cardiovascular risk: what’s the relationship?
Monday Jan 15, 2024
Monday Jan 15, 2024
In this episode of OnAir, we ask whether treatment-adherent OSA patients could be lowering their cardiovascular risk while they sleep. Professor Frédéric Gagnadoux and host Nina Wiklund explore the design, results and implications of his recent 5,000-patient cohort study, which indicates that CPAP can deliver a significant reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events. They ask which patients are likely to benefit, discuss the importance of hours of usage, and consider the tools that clinicians can use to support therapy adherence. Listen to learn about the potential impact of CPAP therapy on the cardiovascular health of your OSA patients.

Wednesday Nov 29, 2023
The world has changed profoundly in the 25 years since the internet became mainstream. Is it finally healthcare’s turn to experience a dramatic data-driven transformation? Daniela Ehrsam-Tosi and ResMed’s Chief Medical Officer Carlos Nunez explore the risks, realities and research potential of real-world data and deep machine learning. Their discussion starts with the perennial challenges of rising healthcare costs and ageing populations and invites us to look to a future where our data isn’t just used to serve us relevant advertising, but can also provide us with personalised healthcare in almost real time.

Home NIV: treatment, troubleshooting and telemonitoring

Wednesday Nov 08, 2023
Which factors make a real difference when it comes to keeping NIV patients comfortable, motivated and well cared for at home? In this episode of the OnAir podcast, respiratory expert Dr Jean-Michel Arnal and host Nina Wiklund discuss key issues in the delivery of home NIV, with a particular focus on troubleshooting, telemonitoring and patient engagement.
As an ICU physician and the author of both a popular book1 and a recent article on home ventilation monitoring2, Dr Arnal has a deep interest and extensive experience in this field. He shares insights on using ventilator waveforms to identify common asynchronies, explains why the cycle feature is so important for patient comfort, and argues that our focus on finding data-driven predictors of exacerbation might be causing us to overlook an important low-tech solution.
Listen now for an engaging tour of key topics in home NIV that provides useful insights for NIV experts while remaining accessible to anyone looking to learn more about the subject.

Beyond AHI: the Swedish approach to OSA diagnosis and management
Friday Aug 18, 2023
Friday Aug 18, 2023
In this episode of OnAir, we explore how Sweden is shaking up its approach to the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea. Professor Ludger Grote explains the background and benefits of the Swedish National Sleep Guidelines, which are part of a concerted effort to improve diagnosis, waiting times, treatment and outcomes for patients across the country. The new, comprehensive approach is based on a diagnostic framework and treatment matrix that has been developed using registry data and input from both patients and professionals. Listen now to learn how and why Sweden is taking a broader view of OSA and what Prof. Grote thinks about the role of AHI and hypoxic burden in diagnosis.

Tuesday Aug 08, 2023
Following our previous podcast, which delved into the evolution of home high-flow therapy (HFT) and its implications for patient care, Dr Maxime Patout returns to offer more insights into the topic. This time round he describes the objectives of the large HiFAE trial he’s leading to assess the benefit of HFT when initiated after a severe exacerbation of COPD. Focused on French patients with severe forms of the condition, the study – which saw its first patient enrolled in late 2022 – aims to show that using HFT in a home setting can indeed decrease both the rate of exacerbations and mortality, as well as improve quality of life and respiratory function.
