Summary
Five patients with severe obstructive sleep apnoea were treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) applied via a comfortable nose mask through the nares, which provides a pneumatic splint for the nasopharyngeal airway and is a safe, simple treatment for the obstructiveSleep apNoea syndrome.
