CDP Presents: Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure via Zoom

9 October 2024, Noon to 1:30 p.m. Eastern

Description: This session will review the basic aspects of the diagnosis and chronic management of the common medical disorder known as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Treatment focus will be on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), which is the first line therapy for OSA. The session will address both medical and behavioral aspects of managing CPAP during the initiation and chronic management stages and provide information on how best to support patient adherence to CPAP therapy.

Please note: While registration is slated to end once the webinar begins on 9 October 2024, space in this event is limited and registration will close once capacity has been reached, even if this is before the final registration date.
