That horrible, ancient mask on the picture is bound to scare people off CPAP therapy before even trying it. |

== Work plan for Wikiedu Medicine project == |
|||
Hello I am a med student part of the wikiedu medicine project for the summer and I chose to work on this page for the next few weeks. |
|||
I would like to start by cleaning up the introduction and eliminating a lot of the extra information in the introduction/summary. |
|||
Risk Factors section requires more verified citations. |
|||
Mechanism section needs more information and citations |
|||
Diagnosis and Classifcations- Diagnosis section heading is regular font while the subsections under diagnosis are in bold text. Under classifications there is a lot of information that is without any verifiable citation. |
|||
Management- Again the main the heading is in regular text while some of the sub sections are in bold text. Other subsections are in different text sizes as well. I feel that maybe the flow of the management section could also be better. The section could start with more common and less invasive treatment options to more drastic and more invasive options. |
|||
Once I have cleaned these sections up I will address the rest of the article with the epidemiology and history of the disease further down the course. |
|||
Any suggestions are welcome. [[User:Pbnj1518|Pbnj1518]] ([[User talk:Pbnj1518|talk]]) 16:15, 17 July 2019 (UTC)Pbnj1518 |

There is a recent meta-analysis that provides more evidence backing up the CPAP treatment: "It has been found through meta-analysis that continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP) significantly improves patient's with obstructive sleep apnea measure of sleepiness. CPAP seems to benefit patients with more severe sleep apnea the most."

I don't have the time to add right now, but looks like Oropharyngeal Exercises
Also might merit inclusion, but don't have the time to properly integrate right now: http://dx.doi.org/10.5665/sleep.1422 - Pengortm (talk) 14:21, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Can we replace the picture of CPAP wear with something a little more like this? https://www.thecpapshop.com/respironics-dreamwear-nasal-cpap-mask-1 That horrible, ancient mask on the picture is bound to scare people off CPAP therapy before even trying it.
