Aims To assess whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy reduces major
adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with moderate-to-severe obstructive …

Positive airway pressure (PAP) is the treatment of choice for patients with moderate-to-
severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that …

Background Sleep apnea has major neurocognitive and cardiovascular and metabolic risks.
Treatment of sleep apnea is suboptimal because of variable adherence to existing …

Objective: To compare compliance with and effectiveness of adaptive servoventilation (ASV)
versus continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with the central sleep apnoea …

Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS), a common disorder, is characterized by repetitive episodes of
cessation of breathing during sleep, resulting in hypoxemia and sleep disruption. The …

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is associated with high cardiovascular morbidity and
mortality. Several randomised controlled trials have shown that continuous positive airway …

A 48-year-old man reports that he snores loudly and falls asleep when sedentary. A
diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea is made, and treatment with continuous positive airway …

Sleep apnea is an entity characterized by repetitive upper airway obstruction resulting in
nocturnal hypoxia and sleep fragmentation. It is estimated that 2%–4% of the middle-aged …

Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is characterized by repetitive
episodes of airflow reduction (hypopnea) or cessation (apnea) due to upper airway collapse …

M edical research supports the finding that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a significant
cause of motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) resulting in two-to sevenfold increased risk. 1–6 …
