A Multidisciplinary Perioperative Intervention to Improve Positive Airway Pressure Adherence in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Case Series. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Positive airway pressure (PAP) adherence in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remains low despite known benefits. The postoperative inpatient period may represent a unique opportunity to address technical issues and promote self-efficacy, 2 important factors determining adherence, which may result in patients' seeking outpatient sleep medicine follow-up. We report our experience in developing a perioperative multidisciplinary intervention of reintroducing PAP therapy to nonadherent OSA patients with the intent of motivating patients to return to their outpatient sleep medicine clinics.
