Abstract Study Objectives: To obtain efficacy, objective compliance, and selfassessment
data from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients treated with continuous …

BACKGROUND The sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome (SAHS) is common and treatment
with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is effective. However, not all patients can …

Abstract Study Objectives: To test the utility of an integrated clinical pathway for obstructive
sleep apnea (OSA) diagnosis and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment …

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a highly effective treatment for
obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) is reduced 10-fold, but …

Recent objective studies demonstrate relatively low hours of nightly use during nasal
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) …

Abstract Study Objective: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) titration studies are
commonly performed using a nasal mask but some patients may prefer a full-face or …

Background: The simplest method of initiating and maintaining therapeutic continuous
positive airways pressure (CPAP) therapy for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) has not been …

Many types of positive airway pressure (PAP) devices are used to treat sleep-disordered
breathing including obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, and sleep-related …

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 …

We developed a short-length document that clearly delineates a prudent approach to and
criteria for reimbursement of positive airway pressure (PAP) costs for the treatment of …
