CPAP is the gold-standard therapy for adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
It is the most effective therapy, when used properly, at reducing or eliminating apnea events. CPAP therapy has been shown to prevent and even reduce the negative effects that sleep apnea can have on the body, including increased risk of death from heart problems.
We talk a lot about the use of CPAP for adults, but what about children?
It is estimated that 2-3% of children suffer from sleep apnea. Can they benefit from CPAP therapy too?
