CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) is the therapy of choice for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). About 70 % of patients on CPAP use their device for at least 70 % of nights with an application-time of at least 4 hours per night. Severity of breathing disorder respectively disturbance of sleep architecture, degree of daytime sleepiness and patients' satisfaction with diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are good predictors of long-term CPAP-compliance. CPAP-compliance can be increased by intensive patient education. Alternative devices like for example Bilevel or auto-CPAP respectively cannot augment CPAP compliance.
持续气道正压通气(CPAP)是阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征(OSAS)的首选治疗方法。使用CPAP治疗的患者中,约70%每晚至少使用该设备70%的时间,且每晚使用时间至少为4小时。呼吸紊乱的严重程度、睡眠结构的紊乱程度、白天嗜睡程度以及患者对诊断和治疗程序的满意度是长期CPAP依从性的良好预测指标。加强患者教育可提高CPAP依从性。诸如双水平气道正压通气或自动CPAP等替代设备并不能提高CPAP依从性。
