Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria
The purpose of this study is to see whether the presence of night-time breathing disturbances
("sleep-disordered breathing") in pregnant women is related to fetal growth patterns. The
hypothesis is that fetal growth slows in the 3rd trimester in women with sleep-disordered
breathing. Use of a nighttime breathing therapy called auto-PAP could minimize the slowing in
fetal growth.


Inclusion Criteria:

- at least 18 years old;

- no more than 20 weeks pregnant;

- pregnant with one baby;

- found to have sleep-disordered breathing as measured by a sleep study. If you are
found to have severe sleep apnea on the sleep study you will be referred for clinical
care instead of participating in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

- more than 20 weeks pregnant;

- pregnant with twins, triplets, or more babies;

- a current smoker, drink alcohol, or use recreational drugs;

- currently using positive-airway pressure therapy for treatment of obstructive sleep
apnea;

- diagnosed with certain conditions such as bullous lung disease, a bypassed upper
airway, pneumothorax (collapsed lung), pneumocephalus (leak of cerebrospinal fluid,
the fluid that the brain and spine float in), if you have had recent trauma, or recent
nasal surgery.
