Nap-titration: an effective alternative for continuous positive airway pressure titration.

When treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) several alternatives for standard (manual) continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) titration are feasible. A practical alternative is titration without polysomnography during an afternoon nap (Nap-titration). The aim of the present study was to assess whether Nap-titration is appropriate for effective titration of CPAP.
