Obstructive Sleep Apnoea course
This session introduces obstructive sleep apnoea: describing high risk groups and causes, signs and symptoms, diagnosis and treatment.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Define obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)
- Recognise the causes of OSA and high risk groups
- State the signs, symptoms and complications associated with OSA
- Describe the diagnosis and treatment of OSA
This session begins by looking at the causes of OSA. It then considers its symptoms, signs and complications before moving on to diagnosis and treatment.
