Abstract:

There have been many new advances in sleep medicine over the last 30 years, with new forms of PAP therapy and improvements in PAP mask technology. Troubleshooting difficulties with PAP therapy have remained a problem that is not often solved in an expeditious fashion or at all. The national average of 40% compliance on PAP therapy is an indictment of our willingness to address this problem and/or lack of knowledge on the subject as a profession. Over the last 10 years as a full-time clinician in sleep medicine, he has developed a follow-up program that yields a 90% compliance over a year. His approach will help you deal with common complaints from PAP therapy patients. From mask fit and dry mouth to data analysis from the PAP machine, his clear and conscious approach will give you the tools to obtain this kind of success in your clinic.
