DISRUPTIVE NIGHTS, EXHAUSTED DAYS: THE IMPACT OF SNORING AND SLEEP APNEAS Woo-Jin Lee Neurology, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital
Disclosure Nothing to disclose
Learning objectives Recognize causes of inadequate CPAP control in OSA with neurodegenerative or cardiac comorbidities Understand the impact of increased physiologic dead space on CPAP efficacy Review medical and ventilatory treatment options beyond standard CPAP
Key message OSA with neurodegenerative or cardiac comorbidities often shows suboptimal response to CPAP, requiring individualized evaluation. Alternative strategies such as adaptive servo-ventilation, bilevel PAP, and adjunctive medications may be needed for optimal management. Tailored approaches based on underlying disease mechanisms are essential to improve both respiratory outcomes and systemic disease control.
