Updated June 15, 2016. Continuous positive airway pressure, commonly called CPAP, is a type of respiratory support, or mechanical ventilation, used in adult and pediatric patients. In premature babies, CPAP is delivered through a set of nasal prongs or through a small mask that fits snugly over a babyâs nose.
CPAP is a common treatment used to manage sleep-related breathing issues like Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The CPAP titration study will typically follow an in lab diagnostic study. The titration study itself is done in a lab and is for the purposes of calibrating a CPAP machine to ensure your therapy is successful. When possible, here at Alaska Sleep Clinic we try to perform the CPAP titration on the same night as the diagnostic study. However, that is not always the case. In some instances where the diagnosis is not clear prior to your first sleep study, you will need to have a second titration study.
