title: Sleep.7: positive airway pressure therapy for obstructive sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome.
abstract: The use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in treating symptoms associated with OSAHS is reviewed. Although it is an imperfect intervention, it continues to evolve and improve in such a way that patients who would not have been able to use this treatment even in the recent past can benefit from it today.
