ABSTRACT
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repeated events of complete or partial upper airway obstruction during sleep and is a chronic sleep disorder that requires long-term comprehensive management. Positive airway pressure (PAP) is recommended for treatment of OSA in adults with excessive daytime sleepiness, decreased sleep-related quality of life, and comorbid hypertension. During PAP therapy, regular follow-up is continuously necessary to evaluate side effects or complications, compliance, and treatment effects such as OSA-related symptoms, quality of life, and consequences. This review provides knowledge about PAP-related background information, indications for PAP prescription including the Korean National Health Insurance criteria, optimal pressure, PAP modes, patient education and support, short-term and long-term management, interpretation of PAP uses, and alternative therapies.
