Estimation of Pharyngeal Collapsibility During Sleep by Peak Inspiratory Airflow

OBJECTIVES: Pharyngeal critical closing pressure (Pcrit) or collapsibility is a major determinant of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and may be used to predict the success/failure of non-continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapies. Since its assessment involves overnight manipulation of CPAP,...
