The effects of continuous positive airway pressure [CPAP] can be evaluated for those patients who have been diagnosed with sleep apnea. During the CPAP study, everything is done as for a diagnostic study. In addition, a mask is fitted around the nose or 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.
