Managing Mask-Related Side Effects: A Key to CPAP Therapy Adherence
Mask-related side effects have been cited as the most important factor influencing adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy.
Overnight Pulse Oximetry for Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Titration in OSA
Investigators assessed the addition of pulse-oximetry to self-reported improvements during hypoglossal nerve stimulation home titration for patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea.
