What helps treat OSAS?
There are a variety of different treatment options for OSAS. The most effective therapy is called continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Pressure from an air compressor helps air pass through nasal passages and into the throat via a small mask that is worn over the nose during sleep. This gentle pressure holds the throat open and allows normal sleep and breathing.
A formal overnight sleep study at Hoag Sleep Disorders Center is required to establish a diagnosis and to set the optimal CPAP. Other treatments include mouth devices and surgical procedures on the upper airway. To contact Hoag Sleep Disorders Center for an evaluation, please call 949/764-8070 or you can send us an e-mail.
