Is my CPAP helping me?

Have you wondered if your OSA therapy really working for you? Is that CPAP really helping your OSA?

What about if you are using an oral appliance?

What about an implant?

What about nasal strips?!

In this episode, the STT Crew talk to Doug Kirsch, MD about the patient reported outcome tool recently released by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM).

Dr Kirsch is with Atrium Health, based out of Charlotte, North Carolina is also a past president of the AASM. He was instrumental in getting a patient reported tool started and developed while he was at the AASM.

He talks about the need for patient reported outcomes of OSA therapies. He talks about how we often use the adherence data from PAP machines, but what about other therapies? He also talks of those patients that may not use the “required” 4 hours of PAP therapies, but they feel better; so how do we measure those outcomes?

Listen in as Dr Kirsch talks about PLATO, the Patient-reported Longitudinal Assessment Tool by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
