Use of PAP in Women With Pre-eclampsia
The purpose of this study is to identify whether sleep-disordered breathing - as measured by
overnight polysomnography - is associated with pre-eclampsia and to determine whether use of
positive airway pressure can improve nocturnal blood pressure.

Initial enrollment began with only women with a pre-existing diagnosis of pre-eclampsia. Part
way through the study, IRB granted approval to expand recruitment to include other
hypertensive diagnoses. So, in effect, a more accurate post hoc title would be Study of
Positive Airway Pressure to Reduce Blood Pressure in Hypertensive Pregnancies.
