Positive airway pressure therapy, including CPAP, is effective for obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (OSDB). This review examines its mechanisms, benefits, and complications, offering future perspectives.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Sleep Medicine
  • Respiratory Therapy

Background:

  • Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (OSDB) is a common condition with significant health implications.
  • Positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy is a primary treatment modality for OSDB.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current landscape of positive airway pressure therapies for OSDB.
  • To examine the mechanisms, benefits, and complications of different PAP modalities.
  • To provide insights into the future of PAP therapy for OSDB.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of positive airway pressure therapies for OSDB.
  • Examination of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), bilevel positive airway pressure, and auto-CPAP.
  • Analysis of mechanisms of action, clinical benefits, and potential complications.

Main Results:

  • Various positive airway pressure devices offer effective treatment for OSDB.
  • Understanding the specific benefits and risks associated with each PAP modality is crucial for patient management.
  • Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) remains a cornerstone therapy.

Conclusions:

  • Positive airway pressure therapy is a vital treatment for obstructive sleep-disordered breathing.
  • Ongoing research and technological advancements will likely shape the future of PAP therapy.
  • Personalized approaches to PAP therapy may improve patient adherence and outcomes.
