Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) Therapy
Positive airway pressure is an effective and preferred treatment of choice for obstructive sleep apnea is a continuous positive airway pressure device (CPAP) or a Bi-Level positive airway pressure device (BiPAP). A mask worn over the nose during sleep directs air from the blower through the nasal passages and into the throat. This holds the airway open, allowing more normal breathing to occur.
Patient Care Coordinator
To ensure that each patient is comfortable with his/her sleep study and compliance with PAP therapy, the patient care coordinator who is a Registered Polysomnograpic Technician (RPSGT) trained in sleep diagnostic testing and treatment, can discuss any concerns or answer any questions the patient might have before or after his/her study.
