ABSTRACT
Treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality from the consequences of sleep-disordered breathing associated with this syndrome. Obstructive sleep apnea rarely regresses and commonly progresses during the life of the patient, necessitating long-term treatment that is well tolerated and effective. In order to achieve the desired goals of improved health and quality of life for patients in the long term, it is necessary to match the suggested therapy to patient tolerance and preference.
