The New Era of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Care: From Underdiagnosis to an Evolving Treatment Paradigm

Overview

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) carries serious consequences when left untreated or suboptimally managed. This activity equips you with practical screening strategies, updated diagnostic pathways, and emerging pharmacotherapy options to identify more patients with OSA and optimize outcomes across your practice.

Learning Objectives

• Examine the pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the consequences of suboptimally treated disease
• Identify patients at high risk for OSA by recognizing diverse clinical presentations, assessing relevant risk factors, and applying validated screening tools in primary care practice
• Differentiate between available diagnostic modalities for OSA and select appropriate evaluation pathways
• Discuss new and emerging pharmacotherapies for OSA
