We studied the clinical usefulness of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The subject were 56 men with OSAS. Their mean age, apnea index, and SaO2 were 51 +/- 8 years, 48 +/- 18, and SaO2 were 51 +/- 8 years, 48 +/- 18, and 81 +/- 7%, respectively. After titration of CPAP, they underwent nasal CPAP treatment at home every night....
