Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
When the overnight study determines a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea, the sleep specialist may prescribe therapy called CPAP or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. This is a mask attached to an air pressure device which maintains the airway during sleep.
This device is usually dispensed under the Saskatchewan Aids to Independent Living (SAIL) program to the patient the morning after the overnight sleep study.
