What is CPAP? CPAP is an acronym for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. CPAP is a therapy used in the treatment ofObstructive Sleep Apnea. This therapy first developed by Dr. Sullivan in 1981, is the most effective treatment for sleep apnea today.
Patients with the sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) treated by nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) need to use CPAP long-term to prevent recurrence of symptoms. It is thus important to clarify the level of long-term CPAP use and the factors influencing long-term use. We examined determinants of objective CPAP use in 1,211 consecutive patients with SAHS who were prescribed a CPAP trial between 1986 and 1997.
