Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is often treated with continuous positive airway
pressure (CPAP) but the effectiveness of treatment is probably limited by poor compliance …

When, in 1983, C. Sullivan and coworkers1 devised continuous positive airway pressure
(CPAP) treatment for patients with obstructive sleep apnea, this was a rather confidential …

Positive airway pressure (PAP) devices are used to treat patients with sleep related
breathing disorders (SRBD) including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Currently, PAP …

Study Objectives: In-laboratory titration polysomnography (PSG) is standard to determine
optimal therapeutic continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in children with obstructive …

Background Although continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has become the first line
of therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), it remains controversial whether non-sleepy …

Background Obstructive sleep apnea is a relatively common disorder that can lead to lost
productivity and cardiovascular disease. The form of positive airway treatment that should be …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Quality of life (QOL) and sleepiness for patients with sleep
apnea/hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) might improve with continuous positive airway pressure …

Purpose Autotitrating continuous positive airway pressure (auto-CPAP) devices not only
titrate CPAP pressures but also measure residual respiratory events. The aim of the present …

Objective The effectiveness of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy greatly
depends on consistent use. However, data regarding adherence in non-sleepy obstructive …

Background: The obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is characterized by
repetitive upper airway obstructions during sleep, and it might cause cardiovascular …
