PG - 411-5 AB - INTRODUCTION: Patients with mild or moderate Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS) need wider therapeutic scope options according to their disease severity. AIM: To consider including proton pump inhibitors (PPI) to the therapeutical alternatives of these patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective study was designed, among patients with SAS. Nocturnal polysomnography and double channel pHmetry were performed simultaneously. RESULTS: From the 18 patients included in this preliminary phase, in three (16.7%) nocturnal proximal ph monitoring was positive. These 3 patients were treated with PPI during at least 3 months with a very satisfactory outcome in two of them. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with PPI may be a useful therapeutical alternative in patients with mild to moderate SAS.
