When to Prescribe Advanced PAP Therapies for Patients Struggling with CPAP

When obstructive sleep apnea patients fail or can’t adhere to the continuous form of positive airway pressure therapy (commonly known as CPAP), there are other options that clinicians should explore to get patients to adherence. In some cases, these other options include advanced positive airway pressure modes such as bilevel devices and adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV), which take into account such parameters as expiratory pressure intolerance. Learn what the literature says about these “rescue” devices as well as real-world approaches to switching patients to advanced therapies when indicated. In this free 1 hour, 22-minute webinar hosted and moderated by Sleep Review, attendees will learn: -what the research says about compliance on CPAP versus auto-bilevel PAP and ASV in specific patient populations; -practical advice for when and how to switch sleep apnea patients to more advanced therapy modes; -the data signatures of high risk apnea phenotypes and the clinical data on use of therapies targeting high loop gain and sleep fragmentation, as adjunct to positive airway pressure therapies.
