Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Supplemental 100% oxygen at 5 litres/min via nasal cannulae during a single night of overnight polysomnography performed by a sleep scientist at a sleep laboratory. Participants who are using CPAP for the management of obstructive sleep apnoea will be temporarily ceasing CPAP for up to 14 days prior to the first night of overnight polysomnography. The two nights of overnight polysomnography will be performed within 4 weeks with at least 1 night in between each study, and a washout period is not required. Participants will be given a pulse oximeter to wear over the fingertip for measurement of overnight oximetry at home over three individual nights without treatment.

Summary
Brief summary
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) affects more than 50% of people with interstitial lung disease (ILD), with inadequate treatment due to poor compliance with current treatments such as CPAP and mouth splints. Supplemental oxygen is a potential treatment for OSA in people with ILD, which is readily available and easy to use, and ovenight oximetry may be helpful for establishing the diagnosis of OSA in people with ILD.
