Program Overview

Management of OSA from a Primary Care Perspective addresses management issues relevant to the primary care audience. Faculty offer guidance on how to counsel patients before polysomnography and during treatment, how to prescribe CPAP, and how to identify issues affecting CPAP adherence and complications. A case study is used to highlight important concepts, including the importance of long-term monitoring and management of residual sleepiness in the setting of CPAP therapy. Topics for panel discussion include sleep apnea management as a chronic disease, recognition of problem sleepiness such as drowsy driving and its implications in assessment of commercial and non-commercial drivers, utility of autotitrating positive pressure devices, and guidelines for the 90-day assessment of CPAP efficacy.
