Objective To investigate the impacts of positive airway pressure ventilation on sleep apnea hypop-nea index(AHI),blood pressure,and cognitive function in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS)and hypertension.Methods A total of 88 patients with OSAHS and hypertension admitted to Shanghai Eighth People's Hospital from March 2022 to January 2023 were collected and randomly grouped into an intervention group(44 cases)and a control group(44 cases).The control group received conventional treatment,and the interven-tion group was treated with positive airway pressure ventilation on the basis of the control group.Sleep monitoring re-sults,blood pressure levels,cognitive and somnolence disorders and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,AHI and longest apnea time in intervention group were lower than before treatment(P<0.05),and the values in intervention group were lower than those in control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the 24 h mean systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure and night systolic and diastolic blood pressure were de-creased in both groups,and the reduction of blood pressure level in the intervention group was more obvious(P<0.05).After treatment,the MoCA score of both groups increased,and the ESS score decreased,and the MoCA and ESS scale scores of the intervention group increased and decreased more than those of the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the indexes of social life,material life,physiological function and physical function of the two groups were im-proved,and the indexes of the intervention group were significantly higher(P<0.05)than those of control group.Con-clusions Positive airway pressure ventilation can effectively reduce the AHI index,blood pressure level,and improve cognitive function in patients with OSAHS and hypertension.
