Providing good quality sleep to people with sleep-related breathing disorders is a major challenge for respiratory physiotherapists and other professionals working in the field. These patients chronically suffer from the negative effects of interrupted sleep, a consequence of increased respiratory effort, disturbing arousals and constant hypoxias. Using positive pressure equipment every night goes far beyond simply programming a device and choosing a mask.

This book provides a deep analysis and interpretation of the respiratory flow curves during sleep in patients using pressure therapy. It also helps the reader to understand the influence of the physiological and pathophysiological processes on the respiratory pattern during sleep.



Consisting of multiples figures, graphics and case examples, this practical work offers a comprehensive and didactic approach to using pressure therapy for sleep apnea treatment. The target audience is Sleep Medicine clinicians,as well as physicians from different specialties (Otolaryngologists, Pulmonologists, Neurologists), Physical Therapists, Dentists, Speech Pathologists, and all other professionals who work with sleep-disordered breathing field.
