Background Determination of the therapeutic pressure during continuous positive airway
pressure (CPAP) therapy is usually performed by a technician during polysomnography. In …

Positive airway pressure (PAP) devices are capable of measuring airflow and circuit
pressure to detect and store in memory the occurrence of respiratory events during sleep …

BACKGROUND: Autotitrating continuous positive airway pressure (APAP) devices have the
potential to address some of the disadvantages of titration and treatment with conventional …

Each night millions of patients use continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to treat
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). To facilitate monitoring of treatment success, modern CPAP …
