Continuous Positive Airway Pressure for Long-term Treatment of Sleep Apnea
Wolfgang W. Schmidt-Nowara, MD
Am J Dis Child. 1984;138(1):82-84.
Abstract
• Severe obstructive sleep apnea in a child with cleft palate and micrognathia developed after soft-palate repair. Continuous positive airway pressure applied to the nose during sleep corrected the abnormalities of sleep and breathing. Long-term treatment produced a remission of all symptoms. Proper technique was important. Continuous positive airway pressure was effective in treating obstructive sleep apnea in this child, and long-term treatment was implemented in the home.
