Primary outcomePrimary: Change of Obstructive Apnea Severity Index Score From Baseline — 20.8; 16.7 events/hour
Summary
To study the effects of compression stockings on sleep apnea in hemodialysis patients with diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea. The rationale of this study consists in the fluid shift theory, which consists in the nocturnal rostral fluid shift from legs, which causes upper airways edema.
The aim of this study is to evaluate if compression stockings could improve such nocturnal volume redistribution and, therefore, improve obstructive sleep apnea.
