The results of the tests are reviewed with the patient and a detailed report is sent to the referring physician in a timely manner. With a physician’s signed referral, a trial of CPAP therapy is initiated.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the most common form of sleep apnea. It occurs when tissues in the throat collapse and block the flow of air in and out of the lungs during sleep. there is no airflow despite efforts to breathe. People with OSA struggle to breathe again and again, making restful sleep impossible.
This results from the brain not signalling the body to breathe. There is no airflow because there is no effort to breathe. Sleep may also be disrupted by CSA.
This is a combination of central sleep apnea (CSA) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
