Research summary
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when the airway partially or completely collapses during sleep. The treatment of choice for OSA is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), which acts as a positive airway splint by delivering a fixed pressure to the upper airway via tubing and a mask worn over the patients nose or mouse. ResMed is the manufacturer of CPAP devices. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new (prototype) CPAP device, known as Monaco, to gain feedback on the usability and user preferences of the new device. Patients will be asked to use the new CPAP in their own home for a period of one week, and compare it to a standard CPAP (also used in the home for a period of one week) in a randomized cross over design.
