The article discusses the use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in obstructive sleep apnea (SOA) in the U.S. It states that CPAP generates air under pressure into the patient's nostrils. It emphasizes that CPAP does treat OSA but it improve sleeping conditions and minimize daytime...
A CPAP, like my first device for sleep apnea, delivers a fixed pressure throughout the night. A sleep technician guessed how much pressure I needed, and there was only one way I could change it, short of seeing a sleep doctor. And since leaving California two and one-half years ago, I...
