A common clinical dilemma faced by sleep physicians is in deciding the level of severity at
which patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) should be treated. There is particular …

Abstract Study Objectives: Evidence suggests that, to maintain treatment effects, nasal
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) …

Rationale: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the current treatment for patients
with symptomatic obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Its use for all subjects with sleep …

Application of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) as the standard treatment for
sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) is a moot point. Studies on the effectiveness of …

Study objectives Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy has become the
treatment of choice for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the efficacy of CPAP …

The minimal disease severity at which patients with the sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome
(SAHS) gain benefit from treatment is not well characterized, although a pilot study of …

Rationale: Twenty-eight percent of people with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea
experience daytime sleepiness, which interferes with daily functioning. It remains unclear …

Rationale: To establish a new approach to investigate the physiological effects of obstructive
sleep apnea (OSA), and to evaluate novel treatments, during a period of continuous positive …

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has become the nonsurgical treatment of
choice for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Recent evidence suggests that …

Manual continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) titration in a sleep laboratory is costly
and limits access for diagnostic studies. Many factors affect CPAP compliance, but education …
