OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

SYNOPSIS: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is effective therapy for the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Diagnosis and treatment of OSAS with CPAP typically involves a minimum of two overnight polysomnographic (PSG) investigations in a sleep center. The first study diagnoses OSAS whereas the second is used to titrate an effective level of CPAP. The implementation of a self-adjusting automatic CPAP device makes it possible to titrate CPAP at home and avoid a second PSG study. SOURCE: Series F, Marc I. Efficacy of automatic continuous positive airway pressure therapy that uses an estimated required pressure in the treatment of the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
