Pressman et al., “Transient Ischemic Attacks and Minor Stroke During Sleep—Relationship to Obstruction Sleep Apnea Syndrome,” pp. 2361-2365, Dec., 1995, Stroke vol. A method for the treatment of a patient who is suffering a stroke, said method comprising: identifying the stroke in an acute phase, said acute phase being defined as the first three hours from onset of the stroke; and applying continuous positive airway pressure to said patient at least during said acute phase of said stroke in order to improve the patient's blood oxygen level. The method of claim 1 wherein said pressure is applied in a bi-level fashion.
The method of claim 1 wherein said patient's carbon dioxide blood level is reduced. The method of claim 1 wherein auto regulation of blood pressure, cardiac output and ventilation is improved. FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method of treatment and apparatus for stroke patients. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Stroke, or brain attack as it is commonly called, can be caused by either vascular hemorrhage or vascular blockage with the latter accounting for about 80% of the events which lead to a stroke. Stroke is associated with considerable morbidity in terms of long-term neurological deficit and the risk of subsequent stroke as well as mortality post stroke is considerable in stroke patients.
Treatment in the acute phase typically entails the invasive administration of clot dissolving drugs within the first three hours of the stroke as well as stabilization of cardiovascular function and vital signs. Post stroke therapy can include intensive and costly rehabilitation depending on the degree of neurological deficit. Continuous positive airway pressure (hereinafter CPAP) has been identified as a method of treatment for sleep disorders, and in particular, sleep apnea. The application of CPAP for sleep disorders was first introduced in U.S.
This patent described the application of continuous positive airway pressure being applied to the patient, through the patient's nares, to treat sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea. It has been found that the application of pressure which exceeds atmospheric pressure, typically 4 to 15 centimeters of H 2O is useful in treating sleep disorders. However, prior to this invention, the application of CPAP as a method for treating stroke patients has never been known.
There exists a need for a method of treatment for stroke patients which is non-invasive, and does not include the use of drugs. There also exists a need for the treatment of stroke patients which is inexpensive and does not require a medical facility or hospital. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A new treatment and apparatus for acute and chronic treatment of stroke patients is described here which incorporates nasal ventilation, with or without concomitant drug therapy, using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bi-level pressure treatment or variants thereof, including devices which automatically set their pressures based on physiologic data inputs. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Nasal CPAP treatment has been traditionally used for the management of patients with obstructive sleep apnea where CPAP acts as a pneumatic splint to maintain upper airway patency and therefore ensures free flow of air while the patient sleeps. The current invention describes the use of positive pressure ventilation, which may include CPAP, bi-level pressure, or variants thereof, for stroke patients.
The use of CPAP treats stroke patients by improving arterial blood oxygen levels and reducing arterial carbon dioxide levels as well as improving auto-regulation of, for example, blood pressure, cardiac output and ventilation. Improvements in morbidity, such as rate and degree of recovery of vital signs and patient stabilization in the acute phase, is an expected benefit. Also, an improvement in neurological deficits in the short and/or long term is an expected benefit. An apparatus for the treatment of stroke patients is also disclosed herein. The apparatus comprises an airflow generator; an interface adapted to fit a patient; and a conduit for the flow of air from the generator to the interface.
In one embodiment, the airflow being delivered to the interface is at a pressure which exceeds atmospheric pressure for at least a portion of a breathing cycle of the patient.
