2 Objectives Upon completion of the session, attendees will be able to: Define sleep disordered breathing and apnea Identify common risk factors and symptoms of sleep apnea Describe the efficacy of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy Describe the importance of compliance with PAP therapy Describe the proper use and maintenance of a PAP device and all accessories Identify who to contact with questions and/or concerns

3 Forms of Sleep Disordered Breathing Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Most common Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) Complex Sleep Apnea (CompSA) Cheyne-Stokes Respiration (CSR) Nocturnal Hypoventilation (NH)

4 Sleep Apnea People who have sleep apnea may stop breathing for 10 to 30 seconds at a time while they are sleeping. These short stops in breathing can happen up to 400 times every night. Apnea: Latin - "pnea" -- meaning "to breathe", a meaning no or not A + pnea (apnea) = not breathing

5 Sleep Disordered Breathing in Adults Symptoms: Loud snoring or snoring interrupted by periods of not breathing (apnea) Excessive daytime sleepiness; lack of concentration; anxiousness, irritability and depression; personality changes; lethargy

6 Sleep Disordered Breathing in Adults Risk Factors: Obesity Narrowed airways (heredity, enlarged tonsils or adenoids) Chronic nasal congestion Hypertension

7 Sleep Disordered Breathing in Children Symptoms: Habitual snoring Noisy breathing/increased work of breathing Pauses in breathing with noisy resumption of breathing Chronic mouth breathing Behavioral problems, such as hyperactivity and aggressiveness Restless sleep

8 Sleep Disordered Breathing in Children Risk Factors: Adenotonsillar hypertrophy Craniofacial malformation Congenital syndromes (e.g. Down s Syndrome, Marfan s Syndrome) Obesity

9 Obstructive Sleep Apnea Airway in a person with sleep apnea. Retrieved from m/contents/sleep-apnea-in-adults-beyond-th e-basics

10 Typical Scenario 1. Patient/family member reports symptoms to MD 2. MD evaluates patient for possible SDB 3. MD orders a sleep study polysomnogram (PSG) or a split night study (PSG with titration) 4. Results are interpreted. If only a PSG was done, patient may then have a titration study 5. PAP device is ordered if patient has sleep apnea

11 Options Devices: CPAP BiLevel PAP (BiPAP) Auto PAP With or without heated or non-heated humidifier

12 Options Masks: Nasal mask Nasal pillows Full face mask

14 CPAP Mask CPAP Mask [Digital image]. (2014, August 8). Retrieved October 24, 2016, from

15 Compliance PAP needs to be used every time individual sleeps in order to be effective. Common issues mask discomfort, airway dryness, nasal congestion Insurance coverage criteria typically require use for at least 4 hours per day during 70% of the time (about 21 out of 30 days minimum) Measured by data card and/or modem

16 Maintenance PAP Device NEVER move device with humidifier attached!! Dust off with dry cloth Replace filters: Disposable filter every 2-4 weeks Reusable filter every 6 months Mask Wash daily with mild soap, rinse well & air dry away from sunlight Replace every 3 months Headgear Wash weekly with mild soap, rinse well & air dry Replace every 6 months

17 Maintenance Humidifier Chamber Wash daily with mild soap, rinse well & air dry Replace every 6 months Tubing Wash weekly with mild soap, rinse well & hang to air dry Replace every 3 months

18 Who to Call for Help Questions/concerns about the patient s condition: Call 911, physician, family, your agency, etc. Questions/concerns about the equipment: Call the medical equipment provider

19 Questions?
