This month’s Airwaves takes its cue from the “Good Vibrations” editorial on page 296 , to bring you a musically themed Airwaves. Our editorial highlights with segue effortlessly from respiratory medicine to the “Rock and Roll” Hall of Fame and back again… When it was released in 1966, this three and a half minute track by the Beach Boys was the costliest single ever recorded and was more than 6 months in the making. The good vibrations in this month’s Thorax are less costly but took rather longer to complete. Mok and colleagues ( see page 331 ) describe a randomised, crossover trial of a convenient vibratory positional device vs continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP), in 40 patients with positional obstructive sleep apnoea. The device significantly reduced the time participants spent lying on their backs (vs CPAP). However the intervention failed to meet the non-inferiority limit for the primary outcome of Epworth Sleepiness Scale. “Good Vibrations” entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s “500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.” More work is needed on vibratory positional devices, if they are to enter the sleep medicine hall of fame.

本期要点

本月的电台以296页的“良好振动”社论为线索，为您带来音乐主题的电台。我们的社论着重介绍了从呼吸道医学到“摇滚乐”名人堂，然后又回来的轻松过程。当它于1966年发行时，海滩男孩的这三分钟半的曲目是有史以来最昂贵的单曲，而且更加制作时间超过6个月。本月胸部的良好振动成本较低，但完成所需的时间较长。Mok及其同事（请参见第331页）描述了40例位置性阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停患者中，一种便捷的振动式定位设备与持续气道正压通气（CPAP）的随机，交叉试验。该设备大大减少了参与者仰卧的时间（相对于CPAP）。然而，该干预措施未能达到Epworth嗜睡量表的主要结局指标。“好振动”进入摇滚名人堂的“塑造摇滚的500首歌曲”。如果振动定位装置要进入睡眠医学名人堂，则需要做更多的工作。在“ Good…”发行近三十年后发行
