Lung Volume and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Requirements in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Previous studies have demonstrated that lung volume during wakefulness influences upper airway size and resistance, particularly in patients with sleep apnea. We sought to determine the influence of lung volume on the level of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) required to prevent flow limit...
