Combination therapy for sleep apnea syndrome in adults

Abstract

Data for 100 adult patients that underwent PSG in our hospital during a 14-month period from April 2003 to May 2004 were analyzed. Seventy-five patients were diag nosed as SAS. Forty-three patients were using n-CPAP. In four of them n-CPAP was withdrawn. The compliance was 91%. Two cases that dropped out were improved by the operation. Combination therapy can be recommended to improve the compliance of n-CPAP and long-term treatment of SAS.
