Positive airway pressure that splints open the airway while an individual is asleep is the gold standard treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Initially, the only option was to have the pressure delivered at a fixed, single number setting through continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)....

Auto-titrating positive-airway-pressure (APAP) devices can automate this process. However, its use in children is not well studied. METHODS. Children receiving CPAP therapy for OSA were invited to participate in this study. They made two visits to the sleep laboratory within 4 weeks; the first...
For positive airway pressure therapy to be of benefit, it probably should have been used for at least 1 to 3 months before the surgeiy. On clinical grounds, it would take at least that much time to derive any clinical improvement in symptoms. The other reason why it did not show much ...

Purpose Positive airway pressure (PAP) devices have been widely used as the first line of treatment in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Most advanced PAP devices support the estimation of respiratory index (RI) using the patient's mask airflow. In addition to the compliance factor for PAP ...
