CPAP
Our expert team in Austin, TX, is here to guide you through all treatment options, ensuring you get the restful sleep you deserve. Whether it’s CPAP, an oral appliance, or a combination of both, we’re dedicated to your sleep health and overall well-being.
Treating Moderate to Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea
CPAP therapy is most effective for patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Specifically:
- Those with an Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) of 15 or higher
- Patients who wear full dentures or have limitations with oral therapies
- Individuals with severe daytime sleepiness or other significant OSA symptoms
- People who have not responded well to other treatments, such as lifestyle changes or oral appliances
- Patients with certain medical conditions that may complicate their OSA, like heart disease or high blood pressure
CPAP can also be beneficial for some patients with mild OSA, particularly if they have severe symptoms or other health concerns. At Sleep Cycle Center, we carefully evaluate each patient’s condition to determine the most appropriate treatment option.
