From the data collected at a private clinic in southern Brazil, I found data on CPAP adaptation in approximately 100 patients (2021 / 2022), based on monitoring and adaptation in the clinic itself. We selected only one brand of equipment from those available in Brazil. Of the patients selected for data monitoring, we obtained greater adherence compared to the data demonstrated in the literature. What are the factors that increase this adherence? Medical care and monitoring in the clinic itself can make all the difference. The objective is to discuss the concern with the selection of CPAP treatment for OSA.
The objective is to discuss the concern with the selection of CPAP treatment for OSA. One should not only indicate CPAP treatment, when this is the option, but also monitor and, if possible, take care of the adaptation of the selected patient, in the clinic itself, as we do with surgical patients.
