About Our Practice

Once polysomnography (PSG) establishes that a patient has obstructive sleep apnea, the next step is to determine the level of CPAP the patient requires.  PSG measurements are taken while CPAP is applied.  Pressure is started at a low level and increased throughout the night by the sleep technologist until a therapeutic level is reached – this is called titration.  CPAP titration is only performed on patients who have obstructive sleep apnea.
