Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of nasal pillows with
standard nasal masks in the treatment of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) …

Background An oronasal mask is frequently used to treat OSA. In contrast to nasal CPAP,
the effectiveness of oronasal CPAP varies by unknown mechanisms. We hypothesized that …

In treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the use of oronasal masks with continuous
positive airway pressure (CPAP) has been reported to increase pressure levels and reduce …

Patient interface preference is a key factor in positive airway pressure compliance. Local
side effects are common. Proper mask fitting and patient education are important. Masks …

Objectives/Hypothesis For patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) undergoing
sinonasal surgery, there is a lack of consensus on the risk and appropriate postoperative …

Study Objectives: Lower therapeutic positive airway pressure (PAP) levels are associated
with improved response to non-PAP therapies in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea …

Study Objectives: To assess the benefit and tolerance of autotitrating positive airway
pressure (APAP) versus continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in subjects who …

Purpose Nasal masks are usually the first choice for CPAP therapy, but patients may
experience side effects. There are limited data regarding the efficacy of nasal pillows masks …

Background CPAP delivered via an oronasal mask is associated with lower adherence,
higher residual apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), and increased CPAP therapeutic pressure …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition that is associated with multiple
adverse consequences, including worsened health outcomes, diminished quality of life, and …
