Therapeutic Sleep Studies (CPAP
Titration)
For some patients who have been
diagnosed with sleep apnea, the
effects of continuous positive
airway pressure (CPAP) are
evaluated. Usually these are
patients who have had a previous
sleep study to diagnose the
condition. During the CPAP study,
everything is done as for a
diagnostic study. In addition, a
mask is fit around the nose or
around the nose and mouth. During
sleep, we attempt to find a
pressure level that holds the
airway open and lets the patient
get a good night's sleep. This is
called a CPAP titration study. |
