Summary

The participants whom undergo Polysomnography study (Sleep study) and are found to have mild, moderate or severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) will have two consecutive titration nights. Randomly, they'll do (CPAP) titration followed by (HFNC) titration or vice versa. To explore the possibility of the CPAP not being superior to HFNC in reduction of sleep apnea events.

Detailed description

The participants undergo three nights in the Sleep Lab. In their first night they perpetrate Polysomnography study (Sleep study) and then classifies to have mild, moderate or severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) or not. Those who are diagnosed with OSA, will undergo two consecutive titration nights. Randomly, they'll do (CPAP) titration followed by (HFNC) titration or vice versa. To explore the possibility of the CPAP not being superior to HFNC in reduction of sleep apnea events.

Conditions

• Sleep Apnea

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)	Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a form of positive airway pressure ventilation in which a constant level of pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is continuously applied to the upper respiratory tract of an individual.
DEVICE	High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC)	High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) is an oxygen supply system capable of delivering up to 100% humidified and heated oxygen at a flow rate of up to 60 liters per minute
