For some patients who have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP-BIPAP) are evaluated. Usually, these are patients who have had a previous sleep study to diagnose the condition.

During the CPAP/BIPAP titration study, everything is done similar to a diagnostic study. In addition, a mask is fit around the nose or around the nose and mouth. While the patient is sleeping, we try to find a good pressure level where the airway remains open. This will help give the patient a good night’s sleep.
