Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have found that symptoms in patients with obstructive sleep apnea and hypopnea can be significantly reduced through treatment with nasal insufflation (TNI), using a nasal cannula to deliver warm, humidified air at a high flow rate. “Our findings provide evidence that TNI may offer a viable treatment alternative to patients with obstructive hypopneas and apneas,” said lead researcher Hartmut Schneider, M.D., of Johns Hopkins Asthma and Allergy Center.
