title: Shortened reaction time during nasal CPAP treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
abstract: In 5 patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea the effect of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment on daytime functioning was measured. During a 2-week period, when the patients were effectively treated with nasal CPAP, a shortening of the reaction time could be measured.
